Company History

Walsall Pressings was founded in 1946 by Cooper Jaguar Racing Driver Bertie Bradnack. 

The business was originally sited in Cecil Street to the east of Walsall in the Butts area and moved to the existing site in 1956. In the early sixties the company began designing and making proprietary goods such as sports mirrors, sun roof packages and prestige steering wheels. The famous Walpres Racing mirrors remain highly collectable and are still to this day fitted to modern classics.

The current owner E.A Woolley joined as a partner in 1969 and from this point the company developed a strong relationship with the automotive industry. The company was purchased outright in 1988 and is still owned and managed by the Woolley family. Our heritage is the foundation for our ability to offer world class innovation and unsurpassed vision.
