Bush & Wilton enjoys a rich history which dates to 1783 when a foundry was established at Bristol, England. Throughout its existence, Bush & Wilton has been associated with some of this areas greatest engineering achievements. Historians claim that the cast iron keel plates for Brunels SS Great Britain were cast in our foundry. In the 20th Century, demand for machining facilities for jig and tool castings being produced for the local aircraft and aero-engine factories led to the establishment of a large, fully equipped machine shop.
