1980s

By the end of the 1970s, Edwards was firmly established as the leading engineering firm in the agriculture market. The company invested in widening general engineering capability and was forging relationships in the whisky distilling industry.

Through the 1980s, Edwards expanded into structural steel with investment in our workforce in Perth. This capability supported the expanding manufacturing base in Scotland and the business grew its installation and commissioning skillset.

1984

Edwards’ engineering skillset meant that strong relationships were developed with the maltings industry across Scotland, and this endures to the present day. Customers included Moray Firth Maltings, Gleneagles Maltings and Munton and Fison.
