Beaumanor celebrate 45 years in the industry

BFPDA member Beaumanor Engineering Ltd, based in Leicester are celebrating their 45th anniversary this year. Beaumanor was formed in 1974 by Tim Thirumalai’s uncle, Bala Krishnan, also known as ‘Kris’, who came from Madras in 1970 to study engineering at Loughborough University. Kris completed his degree and began manufacturing metal components to order, with one machine in a garage in Thurmaston, Leicester. In 1995 Tim Thirumalai inherited the business and a few years later introduced a standard product range of pneumatic and hydraulic fittings, which he sold via a catalogue.

Since then Beaumanor has grown into a major distributor of engineering products through its website and of course a catalogue, which is produced biennially. Beaumanor is still situated in Thurmaston and now operates from a 32,000 square foot facility, with 42 employees. Later this year Beaumanor publishes its V12 catalogue with over 40,000 products and will celebrate 45 years in business with various events for customers and staff.
