About Us
Blackfriars Limited was founded in 1939 as the Blackfriars Engineering Company and has been supplying and manufacturing high quality robust industrial granulators and systems since then. Blackfriars is the only surviving all-British designer and manufacturer of industrial granulators. In 1978, Blackfriars acquired the granulator manufacturing abilities of Bedford and Wills Engineering who, for many years, had been the assembly subcontractor for Blackfriars granulators. In 1990, Blackfriars became a part of the Sabre Group of Companies. The Sabre Group has been manufacturing precision-engineered products for over 60 years and the companies within the Group are key suppliers to a wide range of industries around the world, including oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, process, security destruction, plastics and waste management.
