Pennine Radio Limited

Welcome. We are Pennine Radio Limited. We are a British manufacturing company who are now celebrating over 55 years at the cutting edge of technology. Read on to learn a little about Pennine Radio Ltd from our beginnings over 50 years ago.

We are based at Fitzwilliam Street in Huddersfield. Father and son, Ralph and Gerald Taylor bought the business in 1958. We have manufactured a wide variety of electrical and electronic products since then.

Our company was established in 1936 as Pennine Amplifiers. It was renamed Pennine Radio. This is when the Taylors acquired the business with the intention of manufacturing radios, car radios, record players and televisions.

Within 18 months, Ralph and Gerald recognised that competition from the Far East would hit their trade. They were specialists in electronic design and development, light assembly work and engineering, coil winding for transformers, sheet metal work and spray painting. They then switched their expertise to making electro-mechanical devices for the textile industry.

Our first products were weft-warp stop motions for textile looms. These were followed by many automatic and semi-automatic devices.
