| About Kingfisher
Assured quality
In control of the process.
Having a comprehensive range of services in-house provides us with a high level of control and ensures that we can maintain quality throughout every stage of the process. By having control over research, design, toolmaking, heat treatment, spring manufacture, and production, we can closely monitor and manage each step to meet the desired standards.
Controlling the entire process allows us to streamline operations, optimise efficiency, and maintain consistent quality. By eliminating the need to outsource various tasks, we can also reduce potential delays and dependencies on external suppliers.
Overall, having comprehensive in-house capabilities and stringent quality control measures puts us in a favourable position to consistently deliver high-quality products or services to our customers.

| Over 150 years of excellence
Our History
From the day that Kingfisher was founded in Leeds in 1867 we have stayed true to our founding principle of excellence in everything that we do.
It’s a very different business today to the one that first opened for business over 150 years ago, but we remain committed to quality, service and value for all of our customers.
Originally a manufacturer of grease and a blender of oils, we have always maintained a responsive and innovative approach to lubrication. Through a carefully controlled program of growth and development, we have become one of the largest and most influential manufacturers of grease fittings in the world today.
Our high-capacity factory has moved with the times and now produces state-of-the-art grease lubrication fittings that are used not just in the UK but are also exported all round the world to clients operating in many sectors.
While the focus of our business is in making bulk sales, we also take on bespoke projects with shorter production runs. With all the in-house expertise needed, as well as CNC machines to create the products, we provide a one-stop service with excellence guaranteed.
