Samuel Groves

Global interest in British design and manufacturing has never been higher and Samuel Groves is building on this golden opportunity by continuing to invest in manufacturing equipment to produce the very best cook and bakeware at their manufacturing site in Birmingham. Every range produced at our factory, we believe is the best you can buy, whether that’s our robust Classic stainless steel cookware or timeless Mermaid bakeware. Few suppliers of hospitality products go back as far as Samuel Groves. This venerable Birmingham-based manufacturer of kitchen equipment started in 1817. The big take-off into hospitality supply came during the Second World War when Samuel Groves won a major government contract to produce aluminium trays, with many other items for the Ministry of Works and the War Office being added soon after. This helped reinforce the foundations of the modern business, which gained a major boost from the introduction of the Mermaid brand at the beginning of the 1950s. Samuel Groves encompasses all facets of manufacturing including Metal Cutting, Presswork, Metal Spinning, Welding, Fabrication and Injection Moulding. In addition, we are able to design and manufacture our own tooling in house. The food we eat has changed over the years, and in response, Samuel Groves has developed new products and methods of production and moved with the times. Furthermore, our quality standards and the materials used have all also improved. That said, we remain traditional manufacturers and every product we are proud to say is still hand-finished.
