Following the retirement of Martin Millicheap last year, Masons Fasteners Ltd has promoted Paul Knight to joint company director.
The UK, West Midlands, fastener manufacturer and distributor was originally founded in 1860 by William Henry Mason and his brother, Joseph, as a brass forging and stamping company. Within a decade the company started making screws as part of its production of brassware and by the turn of the twentieth century machine screw manufacture gradually took over as its main activity. By 1914 it had imported a screw manufacturing plant from Germany and produced a range of imperial rolled and cut thread fasteners.
Incorporated as a limited liability company in 1919 the business changed its name to H Mason and Sons Limited. By 1930 James Mason, grandson of the founder, was managing director. By the early 1990s the company passed into the hands of David and Martin Millicheap, James Mason’s grandsons.
Today Masons manufactures a wide range of products, typically from 2mm – 12mm in diameter and up to 100mm long. Highly flexible, Masons produces bespoke products in a range of steels, as well as stainless steel, brass and phosphor bronze. It also carries an extensive inventory of standard and non-standard fasteners.
This year will see a completely new Masons website, which will include an e-shop and facilities to accept credit card payments.
