Drawing Archives

W.H.Tildesley Ltd has access to an extensive historical drawing archive that covers a diverse range of drop forged components

Historical drawing archives dating from 1908 through to the present day

WHT was established in 1874 and is one of the oldest drop forging companies in the UK. Our heritage is thoroughly documented in our drawing archives, spanning over 100 years of drop forging production at the site in Willenhall, West Midlands. All drawings are professionally bound and archived until this day, the oldest being from 1908 when the archive was implemented.

Digital drawings and 3D models for all jobs dating from 2000 to the present day

Even though all drawings are still printed, bound, and archived to this day, WHT implements the latest in digital drawing and 3D modelling software. We have digital models and drawings that cover the last 17 years of drop forging production. Models from this archive can be die-cut overnight and entered into the production schedule in a matter of days.
