Enfield Rolling Mills

Last updated

Enfield Rolling Mills was a British manufacturer of non-ferrous metals.

The company was founded in 1924 as a private company, located on the River Lea in Enfield Lock near London. In 1933, it became a public company, and became known as 'Enfield Rolling Mills Ltd' (ERM). Principal products were rolled aluminium, rolled copper, rolled zinc, and zinc cans. [1]

During World War II, production increased greatly and continued to expand during the post-war years.

In 1959, ERM acquired Enfield Cables, and formed a joint venture with Standard Telephones and Cables, to create a new subsidiary specializing in manufacturing electric cables, Enfield Standard Power Cables Ltd. [1]

In 1961, ERM formed a joint venture with Delta Metals Co, to create a new company Delta Enfield Rolled Metals. Two years later, in 1963, the Delta Group acquired all of ERM, thus forming one of the largest non-ferrous metal groups in Europe. [2]

By 1980, Delta Enfield Rolled Metals was no longer competitive on world markets, and the factory closed. [1]
