ANSON HAS BUILT A REPUTATION FOR QUALITY AND RELIABILITY SINCE 1982

Anson Ltd. cut metal for the first time at 2 oclock on the afternoon of the 6th December 1982. What was being produced was a 3 Fig.1502 Hammer Union Nut, and the actual cutting was retained as a keep-sake. The first cut was the beginning of an extraordinary success story. The industry was seeking high quality products and traceability of materials with the Unions they purchased. ANSON obliged and has never looked back. An enviable reputation for quality and reliability has been built up over the years. Continuous improvements to every aspect of our manufacturing and business practices have kept us at the forefront of our industry. Listening to our customers needs and supplying what they want, at a reasonable price, on time, has been our philosophy and will remain so. ANSON Hammer Lug Unions were the first to be Typed Approved and the first to be manufactured in a BS 5750 and ISO 9001 approved manufacturing facility. They are precision made from the finest of materials and are subject to rigorous inspection at every stage of manufacture. Every piece of raw material ANSON use has full traceability and is subjected to various NDT examinations. The most modern of inspection equipment is used to ensure the profiles of the union interfaces are correct. Calibrated gauges and nothing else are used to check threads so as to guarantee their interchangeability. When you purchase a Union manufactured by ANSON you can be confident you have purchased a quality product from an internationally recognised quality company.

From the inception of the company, it has been the policy of the Directors to thoroughly research all products to ensure that they meet the requirements of the industry and to produce them to the highest quality and safety standards. As a consequence, the company has grown in size over the years, while also earning a reputation for reliability and safety second to none. To ensure the continuation of these high standards, ANSON is regularly audited by accredited certifying authorities.
