The Expanded Metal Company was founded by John French Golding, the inventor and patentee of expanded metal. His first British patent was issued in 1884, marking the beginning of a revolutionary manufacturing process that transformed metal applications across industries. Golding partnered with Hartlepool industrialists Mathew Gray, Christopher Furness, and Robert Irving Jr., who, along with W.B. Close, brought the manufacture of expanded metal to Hartlepool, where the company still operates today.
Previously part of Expamet, we have built a strong reputation for engineering excellence and product innovation.
