Tanfield was founded in 1984 as a spinning company to manufacture hand spun components to a number of customers in the North East of England, where clear deficiencies existed for competitive and just in time deliveries for customers.

During early 1999, Tanfield made it’s first investment in a Leifeld PNC Automatic spinning lathe. The purchase was quickly followed, by the acquisition of additional Leifeld, PNC automatic and semi automatic spinning machines, to a current fleet total of 12 machines.

In 2001 Tanfield relocated to it’s present site of around 25,000 sq ft, this is 50 times the size of our original factory!

In 2003 Tanfield acquired Drakesons, which specialised in the manufacture of larger diameter components of up 3000mm with a range of material thicknesses up to 13mm.

The investment and the full integration of our facilities onto one site, including an in house tool making section and machine shop, together with an advanced Auto Cad design/engineering department and QA Department has made Tanfield Metal Spinners one of the largest metal spinning companies in the UK.

Tanfield now has one of the largest selections of standard stock spinning tools within the industry for dished ends, flat flanged ends and hemispheres within the UK, to produce customer components with no associated tooling costs.

We supply and spin both bespoke and standard components to the following industries:

• Offshore industries
• Petro – chemical
• Pharmaceutical
• Automotive
• Agricultural
• Air Movement
• Environmental
• Catering
• Architectural

We can polish components or provide them in a variety of finishes including anodising, acid dipped or as spun. We have our own welding and fabrication department to fabricate customer items as required.
