Located not far from the Stafford site, Raleigh Hall has been the home of grinding wheel production in the UK since 2012. The manufacture of grinding wheels began in Stafford 100 years ago. Since then change, innovation, investment and new technology has led to moving production to Raleigh Hall, with investment of £1.15 million in the specially selected site in Eccleshall, Staffordshire. The move was made to focus on continued improvement through specialised manufacturing excellence and lead-time reduction, with the aim to provide the best possible service to support the UK aerospace market. The plant produces high precision, technical innovations under the Norton brand, for high performance grinding of aerospace turbines.
