Frank Allart

Frank Allart was founded in 1914 by George Allart.

Amongst their early specialties, Allart designed and developed a large variety of fittings for metal windows.

At the beginning of the Second World War, George found it difficult to secure war work for his factory.  However, the Birmingham Guild Ltd, their next door neighbours, were heavily engaged on aircraft work.  Subsequently, a hole was knocked into the wall between the two factories and the firms worked together for the next six years to support the war effort.

In September 1945, at the end of hostilities in Europe the business was re-registered as Frank Allart & Company Limited.  The name it has to this day.

Later, in 1995, the company moved into a much larger purpose built modern manufacturing facility within the same Ladywood district of Birmingham. A substantial investment was made to upgrade both production and finishing equipment.  This enabled Frank Allart to stay at the forefront of high quality architectural hardware manufacture.

From the mid-1990s to the present day, the company continues to invest in all aspects of the business – CNC machinery, Electroplating, CAD design facilities, MRP & CRM systems, and the education and training of all its personnel.
