NEW HORIZONS AND A NEW FACTORY FOR J.BANKS LTD February 2005

One of Willenhall’s longest established lock and hardware manufacturers, with a proud history stretching back more than 150 years, J.Banks & Co Ltd has now moved to a modern, purpose designed manufacturing and distribution complex in nearby Tipton.

The company is already well recognised throughout Europe for its brand leading range of Window and Door Restrictors, which together with the strong demand for the company’s growing range of innovative security products such as ERICA and Res-Lok, clearly illustrates that the company’s move to a larger site is well timed.   

David Wellman, the owner and Managing Director of J.Banks commented on the reasons for the move. “In many ways we are sad to leave Willenhall, the traditional heart of British lock making, however we had completely outgrown our old site and in order to cope with our rapidly expanding product range and growing order book we simply had no choice but to re-locate into a much larger open plan factory. The increased capacity and improved facilities that the new premises provide will enable us to fully realise the next phase of the company’s ambitious product development programme”.

Hobart Road, Princes End, Tipton, West Midlands, DY4 9LE.
