Firmac LTD

        Firmac LTD was founded by Colin Firth in 1985, when he designed the first Nu-Loc duct seamer and ADF (Automatic Duct Former), revolutionising the industry and providing the foundations for international expansion. The original Firmac factory was situated on Durham Street in Scarborough, but after only five years the business had expanded so much larger premises became an urgent requirement.

       In 1990 Firmac LTD moved into the largest unit (24,000 ft²) on the Barry’s Lane Industrial Estate in Scarborough. The nine strong workforce had expanded to 30 employees and by 2009 the business moved to its current premises, 30,000 ft² purpose built accommodation at Elge House on the Eastfield Industrial Estate.

Since its launch in 1985 the company has gone from strength to strength. It now commands a leading position in the international marketplace and is recognised as a forerunner in design and innovation. Combining the strengths of a professional internal design department with experienced electrical and mechanical engineering the company now exports 95% of its business to over 50 countries worldwide.
