Alwayse Engineering Limited was established in Birmingham, United Kingdom in 1939 when a small engineering company, Sheridan Tools, was purchased. Later its name was changed to “Alwayse” meaning that the units are multidirectional and move in all directions or ways -hence “Alwayse”. The distinctive spelling adds to the company’s individuality. As the originator of the Ball Transfer Unit over 70 years ago, Alwayse has become an essential part of the material handling industry. Alwayse Ball Units manufactured from high-quality materials in the Birmingham factory are used in all sectors throughout the World and over 2,000,000 are sold every year.
