  “Strong re-investment, commitment to quality, and the introduction of new technology gave us a lead against our competitors, ensuring our success for future growth.”Mr W.G. Lusty. 1979.

O.L.D. Engineering was formed on February 28th 1971 founded by 3 partners, Mr Olner, Mr Lusty and Mr Drackley. The first letter of each surname was used and so O.L.D. Engineering came into being.

The first premises were situated in a small factory in Sharnford. After 6 months the company grew and was able to move to a unit in Nutts Lane, Hinckley.

In 1979 Mr Lusty acquired overall control of the company, and in February1980 the Company moved to its present address on Sketchley Lane Industrial Estate.

In 1984, the premises were extended to 22,000 sq ft, and C.N.C. Machines were introduced to allow the company to expand further and take on more complex work.

 


That philosophy has continued to this day, and the Company now hosts a full range of C.N.C. machines, including Lathes, Machining Centres, Grinding Machines and a co-ordinate measuring machine.

In 1996 Mr Lusty retired passing control onto his family. To this day the company is still a family owned concern, giving a more personal environment and assured continual reinvestment.
