  Company History
   
  Crenol & Wilson (Workholding) Ltd, initially Norman Crenol Chucks & Tooling Ltd, was established in 1981 by the current Managing Director to give a comprehensive stockholding and distribution service for workholding/toolholding and associated products to a wide range of industries, institutions, government organisations, educational establishments, etc.
Further expansion took place in 1994 with the opening of a machine shop to produce chuck jaws, both standard and special, to suit almost any make of chuck in the market place. Special fixtures, base plates, adaptor plates and many other products associated with workholding are now produced in the machine shop.

The company operates from custom built freehold premises, organised in a manner necessary to ensure all activities are carried out in controlled conditions and allowing storage of products under dry conditions.

Approved registration to BSEN ISO9002:1994 was achieved in June 1993 followed by approved registration to BSEN ISO9001:2000 on 18th January 2001 to ensure the supply of assured products and services.

The company employs personnel with a wide experience of the industry, capable of giving both technical and commercial advice and to provide answers to customers' questions. Our design engineers are university graduates, using the latest CAD/CAM systems for speed & efficiency.

All systems are fully computerised, thus enabling a quick response to customer inquiries and efficient monitoring of stock levels.

The company supplies workholding/toolholding equipment to a wide range of customers, including Rolls Royce, Westland Transmissions Ltd, Pall Industrial Hydraulics Ltd, Flight Refuelling Ltd, John Crane (UK) Ltd, Weston Aerospace Ltd, BAE Systems Ltd, Delphi Diesel Systems Ltd and Eaton Aerospace Ltd, and has established excellent relationships with these and other companies.

The product range we offer is comprehensive and, as well as our own manufacture, the products we distribute are exclusively from companies of known reputation who have a proven quality record and are able to provide the necessary technical and commercial back up when required.
