Heatons Engineering
ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE
About us
Heatons Engineering has been operating from its base in North West England for more than135 years and is well respected throughout the United Kingdom. First established in 1878 and known as J. Heatons & Sons, Ironmongers and Sheet Metal workers, the company had always operated from Leyland, Lancashire with strong ties in the local community during this time.
During the early years Heatons were suppliers to many local engineering companies, one of which was the Leyland Motor Company, supplying components to truck assembly lines.
The company now operates internationally and across many sectors, including the food and pharmaceutical industries, whilst continuing to grow and diversify.
Heatons Engineering has over the centuries earned a reputation for quality work, reliability and integrity and continues to forge new relationships with customers based on these three founding principles.
In February 1983, the Engineering Group owning the company closed down its North West manufacturing operation, and the business was transferred to Quin Street, Leyland, Lancashire, under new management.
In 2014 operations in Leyland were transferred to new premises in Blackpool. Here the company benefits from a modern, spacious and well equipped facility.
