Manufacturers of protective equipment for professionals since 1827. From our base in NE England, we service the first responder market with cylinder covers, PPE and medic kit bags as well as automotive industry with equipment covers, stillage inserts and area screens. Speedings Ltd was established in 1827 on the banks of the River Wear in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, which makes the company the oldest manufacturing business in the City of Sunderland – a fact of which we are immensely proud. Speedings is a family-owned business that employs thirty five people including twenty specialist ‘traditional’ sewing machinists. Our production process sees our sewing machinists making a product from start to finish. This system of manufacture creates a more rewarding sense of achievement for the machinist as well as assuring hand-build quality from start to finish for our customers.
