Lowe started manufacturing material handling equipment from a small rented unit, based in the small market town of Uttoxeter. Initially, the founder Nigel Lowe singularly fabricated products to customer requirements, designing and welding on his own, supported by his wife Janet who often painted the products.
Lowe soon started to grow, supplying a major OEM also based in Staffordshire who successfully produce on a large-scale earth moving equipment for the global market. Lowe recognised that many companies in the UK either produced, or imported material handling equipment such as stillages and trollies. However, the quality of the products was very poor, and there was a lack of quality control and standards.
Lowe continued to grow, ensuring that they had full ISO accreditation, and qualified certified welders as well as fully audited factory control systems, setting the benchmarks for the industry.
