Thompson and Walton was originally formed in 1903 by Joe Thompson and has been manufacturing wire straightening and cutting machines since 1911.
In 1926, Mr. Munroe, a designer by trade, joined forces with Joe Thompson and the Company became known as Thompson & Munroe Limited. Between them they designed the first high speed straightening and cutting machines.
In 1988 the range of machines produced by Hudson Forge Ltd was incorporated by bringing the two companies together to their present form. The new name Thompson & Hudson Wire Machinery brought together 119 years of experience in wire straightening, cutting and forming machines supplying machines all over the World.
By the time the business was acquired in 2021, there were over 1200 customers worldwide from the blue chip international groups to specialist manufacturers and niche firms.
