Specialist expertise with global reach

With more than 80 years of experience, Clifford Springs is a global leader in the design and manufacture of highly complex seal energizing springs.

Its expertise in spring manufacturing and application engineering enables the business to solve complex challenges for customers operating in highly demanding sectors worldwide, specifically across seal and valve manufacturers.

Located in one of the UK’s most established fine wire forming regions, Clifford Springs also benefits from access to a strong local supply chain.

Transitioning from independent private ownership to becoming part of Beijer Components created new opportunities to build on these strengths through continued investment, technical collaboration and long-term global growth – while preserving the specialist expertise that defines the business.

Building on specialist expertise

Clifford Springs had built a strong reputation in a highly specialised niche and identified opportunities to accelerate future global growth through:

  • Continued investment in advanced manufacturing technology
  • Greater access to technical expertise
  • Increased collaboration across global specialist businesses
  • Expanded product capabilities
  • Long-term operational support

By becoming part of Beijer Components, Clifford Springs gained the backing of a global group while continuing to operate with the agility of a specialist manufacturer.

Collaboration in action

Since joining Beijer Components, Clifford Springs has strengthened its market position through:

  • Investment in manufacturing technology
  • Greater collaboration across the wider network
  • Expanded access to specialist engineering expertise
  • Adding value to its customers with access to a wide diversity of spring solutions via the Beijer Components group

By working closely with other businesses across Beijer Components, Clifford Springs continues to combine its own specialist expertise with broader technical capabilities to create greater value for its customers.

“Being part of Beijer Components has allowed us to continue working in the way that made us a leading specialist spring-maker, but we now have the support of a global company behind us.

We’ve continued investing in the latest spring manufacturing technology and built stronger relationships across the wider group, giving us access to new expertise and different ways of solving customer challenges – and ultimately, our customers benefit from us having access to practically every conceivable type of spring.

What I value most is having access to talented people across the business who act as a trusted sounding board. I like working with people who bring strengths in areas where I’m less experienced and that collaboration helps turn ideas into action.

The leadership teams bring a hugely positive mindset, and that creates an environment where growth feels both ambitious and enjoyable.”
