In 2006 A. Perry purchased Glynn Robinson Studding from the administrators of Eliza Tinsley. The board of A. Perry, recognising the potential of continuing to manufacture threaded bar within the UK, decided to acquire the threaded rod business and invest in its foundation to help it thrive and grow.

“After a decade that has seen many companies fail we are delighted, despite economic hardships and increasingly fierce competition, that the threaded bar range we manufacture is still the market leader,” mentions Alan Dunnaker, managing director at A. Perry. “Over the last 18 months we have made major investments in our manufacturing and warehousing. The combination of a highly skilled and knowledgeable workforce, with the implementation of a bespoke state of the art IT system that controls productivity and prioritisation, has increased efficiency across the company and delivered multiple benefits to our customers.”

Alan continues: “Our customers, new and old, recognise A. Perry for its high-quality, great performance products, aggressive pricing, and 24 hour delivery on stock lengths. Fast lead times on orders for bespoke cut lengths, in a variety of materials and finishes and at rates never previously possible, has put us in an excellent position for the future and we look forward to the next 10 years.”
