Coventry Grinders Open For Business

For every company battling through these times there comes a point where we will all have to take a leap of faith in regards to our businesses.

That time is now for Coventry Grinders.

From this Monday 11th we will be open everyday.

At present, we will still be running a significantly reduced staff and supplying most customers via carrier rather than our own transport, however this will change as things progress. We also happily welcome customer collections.

This will of course be a gradual process keeping the health and safety of staff and customers as the top priority – following strict guidelines such as social distancing.

As we will be running a reduced staff, we would ask our valued customers to work with us as lead times and quotations may be slightly delayed. 

We hope that this increase in time at our branch will help our customers and we do welcome any questions or queries regarding our service or policies.

We look forward to continuing to support British manufacturing and engineering and wish you all well.

Stay safe,

The Team @ Coventry Grinders

Partial Re-opening / Customer Support

From this coming week Coventry Grinders will be partially “re-opening” to help support our customers in this very strange time.

We will still mainly be operating remotely, however, we will now be attending the branch on Tuesdays and Thursdays to cut/pack/ship customer orders. These days and their frequency will be reviewed in the coming weeks.

This will allow us to supply with only small delays compared to usual our usual service – we will happily work with customers expectations and lead times as best we can. We would appreciate correspondence and enquiries electronically if possible, as we may not always be able to answer the main line whilst at the branch.

We know that some companies are going above and beyond at present and, are having to continue to complete work to secure the future of their businesses. We would like to do our bit to help where we can.

It is important to note that there will be only one member of staff in the office and/or stores at any one time and we will only be sending orders by carrier or pallet freight (there will be some exceptions).

The safety of our staff and customers is of the highest priority and if we feel at any time these new measures are not safe enough, we will have no hesitation in reverting back to working fully remotely once more.

We have plenty of stock of all our usual lines and of course bespoke material/cutting work/abrasives will be available as usual.

Let’s keep showing the country how great engineering and manufacturing is here – we will get through this!

Stay Safe.

The Coventry Grinders Team.

Key Steel at Coventry Grinders

Metric and Imperial Key Steel at Coventry Grinders

As specialists in the supply of gauge plate and silver steel, Coventry Grinders are also very proud to supply metric and imperial key steel.

Key steel is a basic consumer material that is found in a range of everyday items such as door handles. The metal is produced from specially processed bars of the type usually used to make machine keys. Coventry Grinders believe key steel is a very versatile product that can be used for a variety of applications, such as in factory machine shops, maintenance departments and precision engineering.

The key steel offered by Coventry Grinders is made from a EN8 bright drawn medium carbon steel and conforms to BS4235. It also has a reasonable tensile strength, hence its application in engineering. Coventry Grinders stock a full industry-standard range of key steel. It can be used practically and in keyed assembly.

We offer a full standard range of both metric and imperial size ranges. Our metric range can be found here and here is our imperial range of key steel.

The History of Coventry Grinders

The History of Coventry Grinders

The Midlands is well known as the heartland of engineering and automotive manufacturing sectors throughout the twentieth century. Coventry has always been a big part of these industries and has been the home to several pioneers in both the science and engineering sectors. Coventry Grinders was established many decades ago during the 1930s, with the aim of serving the highly demanding and ever-growing industries.

During the early days, Coventry Grinders was a large engineering company that had a unique skillset for that time. Coventry Grinders has always been innovative and offered apprenticeships and jobs for locals. The organisation was mainly focused purely on grinding and served Coventry and the Midlands as well as the rest of England.

Since then Coventry Grinders has changed ownership twice and is now run by its third owner. Coventry Grinders is proud that all our owners have been from the local area, and are committed to the growth of the region and the UK’s manufacturing industry as a whole.

During the last eight years, Coventry Grinders has increased its service offering and now supplies key steel and gauge plate as well as a wide range of abrasives. Now the business has an equal split between both product types and serves a nationwide customer base.

We are very proud of our heritage and believe we have significantly developed over the last 80 years to serve the requirements of the evolving engineering sector. Coventry Grinders still prioritise fulfilling commitment to their customers’ needs and will continue to do so. Looking to the future, Coventry Grinders wants to continue its run of success and develop the business further.
Coventry Grinders are technical distributors of grinding wheels and abrasive products and are proud to be stockists of many leading brands.
