Camelon Iron Co
Founded in 1845 as Crosswaite, Miller and Co at Lock 16. In 1854 the first partnership was
dissolved and the works sold to Mr Smith. In 1870 Mr Smith opened a new foundry called
Kilns Iron works on the south side of the Forth & Clyde Canal at Kilns Place near Lock 9 in
Falkirk. This new foundry started off producing pipes but in 1873 the entire plant from the
Lock 16 foundry was transferred there too. The company then became known as Camelon
Iron Co. The foundry at Lock 16 was sold to Walker, Turnbull & Co and became Portdownie
Ironworks. In 1935 the company became part of Federated Foundries Ltd along with
Grangemouth Iron Company (Grange Iron Works, Camelon), Watson, Gow Co (Etna Iron
Works) and Burnbank Foundry Co. The premises at Kilns Place were closed in or before
1954 and Camelon Iron Works was transferred to the Grange Foundry, Stirling Rd,
Camelon. The company was then known as Grange-Camelon Iron Co. Grange-Camelon
Iron Works closed in 1967.
Camelon Iron Co was incorporated in 1890 with the registration number SC002035, and was
dissolved in 1954.

Durban Falkirk Iron Company Ltd
In 1905 a company called The Hollow Block Syndicate was founded at Wentworth, near
Durban, South Africa, by Sir Benjamin Greenacre. Originally it manufactured hollow concrete
building blocks. As business expanded and diversified into the production of iron cooking
pots and stoves, the company name became the Iron, Cement and Engineering Company
Ltd. Later the company forged links with the Falkirk Iron Company and in 1923 a new joint
enterprise, the Durban Falkirk Iron Company Ltd, came into being. The company made
products such as coal stoves, pots, manhole covers and drain grates in conjunction with
Falkirk Iron Company. Later it also made electric stoves and gas stoves.

Falcon Foodservice Equipment
Falcon Foodservice Equipment has its origins in the Falkirk Iron Co Ltd, which was founded
in 1819. In 1929, Falkirk Iron Co joined with other UK foundries to become Allied
Ironfounders Ltd. In 1969, Allied Ironfounders was taken over by Glynwed Foundries, and
the ironfounding businesses became part of Glynwed Foundries Ltd. At that time Falkirk
Iron Co became an independent manufacturing unit (under Glynwed ownership), renaming
itself as Falcon. In 1979 Falcon relocated from Falkirk to Foundry Loan, Larbert. In 2001
Glynwed changed its name to the Aga Foodservice Group. In 2004 Falcon moved to
Hillfoots Rd, Stirling. In 2007 the Ali Group SpA purchased Aga's foodservice business, of
which Falcon was an integral part.

Glynwed Ltd
Glynwed Holdings was formed in 1939 as a private company, and began trading as a public
company in 1941. It acquired various metal working companies, initially mainly in the West
Midlands. In 1966 it changed its name to Glynwed. In 1969 it acquired Allied Ironfounders
Ltd. The subsequent reorganisation resulted in the formation of several divisions within the
company including Glynwed Foundries Ltd, Glynwed Baths Ltd, Glynwed Steels Ltd and
Glynwed Tubes and Structures Ltd. By 1999 the company had sold all its UK "metal
bashing" businesses to concentrate on pipe systems and consumer and food service
products. In 2001 it sold off its pipes division to Extec and rebranded as the Aga
Foodservice Group. In 2008 the company renamed itself Aga Rangemaster Group.

Smith & Wellstood Ltd
Smith & Wellstood had its origins in a retail hardware business in Glasgow in 1854. James
Smith and Stephen Wellstood became partners in 1858. In 1855 James Smith contracted
George Ure, managing partner of Crosthwaite, Ure & Co of Camelon, to produce stoves.
George Ure opened his own foundry, the Columbian Stove Works, at Bonnybridge in 1860,
and went on to open the Bonnybridge Foundry in 1869. Smith and Wellstood took over the
Columbian Stove Works in 1873, and became Smith & Wellstood Ltd in 1888. The company
amalgamated with George Ure & Co Ltd under the name Smith & Wellstood Ltd in 1890. In
1947 after the death of the managing director, George Ure, the business changed hands. In
1949 Smith & Wellstood was registered as a public limited company. In 1950 a new foundry
was established in Johannesburg, which was sold in 1971 to a South African company. In
1973 Smith & Wellstood Ltd were taken over by the Kent based Dint Engineering Group and
in 1978 this became part of the Newman Industries Ltd Group. The company went into
receivership in 1984. The Ouzledale Foundry Co Ltd bought out the foundry and established
the new company of Smith & Wellstood (1984) Ltd.

Ure, George, Ltd
George Ure was managing partner of Crosthwaite, Ure & Co of Camelon during the 1850s.
In 1855 he was contracted to produce stoves for Smith & Wellstood. In 1860 George Ure
opened the Columbian Stove Works foundry at Bonnybridge, and Ure & Co was formed with
original partners George Ure, James Smith and Stephen Wellstood. In 1869 Ure & Co built
a second foundry, called the Bonnybridge Foundry. In 1873 Ure & Co became George Ure
& Co and operated from the Bonnybridge Foundry, while the Columbian Stove Works was
transferred to Smith & Wellstood. In 1885 George Ure & Co Ltd was formed, continuing the
business of George Ure & Co. In 1890 George Ure & Co Ltd amalgamated with Smith and
Wellstood Ltd, but the company name was still used until at least the 1930s.
