History
In 1932, the German company Nurnberger Shraubenfabrik opened a British NSF Ltd import house. Initially, the British NSF manufactured screws, military communications equipment, and receivers, as well as small aircraft parts.
At the outbreak of World War II, NSF Ltd was placed under the UK government’s Custodian of Enemy Property. During this time, the factory is bombed in German air raids, killing 30 employees. The Ministry of Aircraft Production relocates many factories to the north of England, where they are much safer.
NSF Ltd opens on Dalton Lane in Keighley with 20 staff relocating from Croydon. In 1946, NSF Ltd moved to its Ingrow Bridgeworks site.
The Lucas group acquired NSF during a merger in 1968. NSF adopted the Lucas brand and expanded its product range; however, in 1996, Lucas felt the Keighley site was surplus to requirements.

Management Buyout
Fantastic news from the multi-award-winning business NSF Controls Limited.
NSF Controls has recently undergone a Management Buyout. They are now proud to be part of NSF Manufacturing Group Limited, effective Friday, 31st October.
The previous owners had been looking for several years for the right person or business to take on NSF Controls Limited. They found that their current CEO, Sarah Smith-Birch, has assumed the role of owner of the group.
Doug Priestley, one of the main previous owners of NSF Controls, said, “We are very pleased with what Sarah has achieved over the last two and a half years. She has guided the business through a challenging time to where we are now, which is a thriving, multi-award-winning business. We wish her all the best in the future”
Sarah Smith-Birch said, “I am honoured that the previous owners have chosen me to be the one to take NSF Controls into its next phase of success. Everyone in the business has made NSF Controls the successful multi award winning business it is today, together we have steered it through challenges. We have come out the other side a stronger and more focused business than ever. Our commitment to our customers and staff is paramount. I want to ensure that NSF Controls continues to grow and succeed for many more years to come”
As this is a Management Buyout, nothing will change from a customer or supplier perspective; you will continue to receive the same excellent service from all of us at NSF Controls. NSF Controls Limited will continue to trade as before, but with a new owner. The cutting of the ribbon picture with almost the entire team; we couldn’t fit everyone in!
