of Bramley, Leeds.

1901 Private company, Thomas Haley and Co was registered as a Limited Liability Company.

1920 Name changed. After a period of association during the war, Thomas Haley and Co was amalgamated with the American firm Turner Tanning Machinery Co.[1]

1957 The company name changed to its present title Turner Machinery Ltd. This was decided when a number of machines produced were finding applications outside the leather industry, and work was becoming more diverse. A careful survey was made of the rapidly expanding Plastics industry and it was decided to enter the specialized, field of injection moulding.[2]

1961 Leather machinery manufacturers and distributors. 450 employees. [3]
