A brief History of Tangye

Vintage Tangye machinery

Tangye Ltd.’s remarkable legacy can be traced back to 1856, when it was established by Richard Tangye and his brothers in Birmingham, which was a key industrial hub during the Victorian era. Initially, the company’s focus was placed on hydraulic lifting equipment, and it quickly gained prominence. This was largely due to the use of Tangye’s hydraulic jacks in the groundbreaking launch of Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s SS Great Eastern ship in 1858. This significant achievement is widely considered to have marked the beginning of Tangye’s longstanding reputation for engineering excellence.

Furthermore, the Tangye brothers expanded their business by pioneering advancements in gas engines, hydraulic pumps, and other essential industrial tools. Over time, their innovative designs played a critical role in several significant engineering projects. These projects included the supply of equipment for the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the development of hydraulic systems for the UK’s first cliff railway in Scarborough.

As the years progressed, Tangye continued to evolve, ultimately becoming a leading name in the engineering industry. The company’s focus shifted towards hydraulic systems and power technology, ensuring its continued relevance. Today, Tangye remains synonymous with reliability and innovation, consistently delivering high-quality engineering solutions across a broad range of industries.

This illustrious history of engineering advancements contributed greatly to solidifying Tangye’s reputation as a key player in industrial progress, particularly from the 19th century onwards.

In the late 1960s, Tangye underwent a significant transformation following its acquisition by the Central Wagon Group, which had been historically recognized as asset strippers. This led to the sale of the Cornwall site and the relocation of operations to Birmingham. This period of change coincided with the company’s merger with Shelly, a manufacturer well-known for mechanical car jacks.

A strategic shift

As part of a strategic shift, Tangye discontinued many of its previously manufactured products, redirecting its focus to ship jack and aluminium jack manufacturing. The Central Wagon Group also owned Eric Peel & Co (EPCO), a leading garage equipment manufacturer. Subsequently, Tangye and EPCO were merged, operating facilities in both Birmingham and Leeds.

Following financial difficulties, Central Wagon was compelled to sell Tangye to the Booker Group, which sought to diversify its portfolio beyond grocery and publishing. Although challenges persisted, manufacturing continued at both the Birmingham and Leeds sites for several years, until a management buyout was led by the Managing and Engineering Directors.

From Birmingham to Accrington

However, this buyout proved to be short-lived, and the West Midlands Enterprise Board eventually intervened, appointing a new Managing Director. Eventually, the company transitioned from Birmingham to Accrington after being acquired by the Turner & Newall Group (Hydratight), who specialized in hydraulic rope pullers and torque multiplier equipment.

In 1994, Tangye was acquired by the Allspeeds Group, which led to the relocation of operations to Accrington. Today, Tangye continues to manufacture its signature aluminium jack range, as well as other branded products, solidifying its position as a leading name in the industry.
