Denford Limited – a traditionally based UK Manufacturer of CAD/CAM Machines and Technology
Denford Limited has a proud history as a British based manufacturer and is steeped in the tradition of engineering and the manufacture of CNC machine tools.

“Denford Small Tools” was founded in Brighouse by Horace Denford in the years before World War II. The company manufactured a range of engineering inspection and measuring equipment and tool holders.

Denford moved part of their manufacturing operation to Box Tree Mills in Wheatley, Halifax, in the closing years of the war. Having set up in the “Box Mill” plant, a new company named “Denford Machine Tools” was created, and manufacture started of two small precision bench lathes branded “Box-Ford”. These machines were offered for sale at a suggested price of around £175, and had a production run in excess of 400 units!

In 1952, Denford moved their manufacturing operation to Birds Royd, Brighouse, and by the end of the 1950’s, they were manufacturing a variety of metal and wood turning lathes, tool sharpening equipment, grinders and polishers.

In December 2010, Denford Limited moved to a new purpose-designed 18,500 sq/ft facility at Armytage Road, Brighouse.  The new premises incorporate the company’s manufacturing facilities, including 3,200 sq/ft of office space, as well as a dedicated showroom, demonstration and training facility.

In recent times, Denford has expanded its product range to include the design and manufacture of a comprehensive range of CNC mills, lathes and routers which have been specifically designed for education.  Denford machines are a familiar fixture in Design and Technology and Engineering laboratories around the world.

New product development continues as a key strategy for Denford Limited, and as confirmation of this, Denford products are constantly being updated, keeping the traditions of design and manufacture firmly based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire.
