COMPANY HISTORY

Founded in 1894, Bendalls Engineering has a long-standing reputation for innovation in fabrication and welding. From building body panels for Donald Campbell’s iconic Bluebird vehicles in the 1920s to pioneering bespoke equipment for Windscale (now Sellafield) in the 1950s, we’ve consistently delivered precision engineering for some of the world’s most demanding sectors.

Over the years, we’ve expanded our expertise into the nuclear, defence, and renewable energy industries, becoming a trusted global supplier of high-integrity pressure equipment and bespoke fabricated products.

In April 2025, Cadre Holdings, Inc., completed the acquisition of Bendalls Engineering from Carr’s Group plc following the sale of the Engineering Division.

Today, we operate across four sites at Kingstown Carlisle, offering large-scale fabrication, dedicated assembly and testing bays, on-site radiography, a fully equipped machine shop, and a skills centre supporting the next generation of engineers.
