History

Few suppliers of hospitality products go back as far as Samuel Groves. This venerable Birmingham-based manufacturer of kitchen equipment started in 1817, initially making brass candlesticks. By the 1870’s, production had expanded to electroplated teapots and trays and it started to become a significant exporter in the 1910’s.

The company was started by Samuel Groves Sr. and was subsequently taken over by Samuel groves Jr. in 1866.

Henry Groves 1862-1936, was the third and last generation in the family firm and was listed in the 1881 census as having the occupation of Metal Spinner, a process still used at today. In 1917 Samuel Groves was registered as a Limited company. Moving to Musgrave Street, Hockley in 1921.

The company continues to develop new products and utilise new materials, all of which are being manufactured in Yardley Birmingham.

Samuel Groves encompasses all facets of manufacturing including Metal Cutting, Presswork, Metal Spinning, Welding, Fabrication and Injection Moulding. In addition, they are able to design and manufacture their own tooling in house.

They remain traditional manufacturers and every product they are proud to say are still hand-finished. Samuel Groves has been a manufacturer in Birmingham for close to 200 years, some of the skills that will be used in the factory today will have been used all throughout those 200 years.
