There’s been an engineering works on Taunton’s Albemarle Road since Victorian times.
It was built in 1879 as a foundry, then as a company called Easton & Bessemer it built steam engines which powered the first paper-making machine as well as the electricity generator as Taunton became the first town in the UK to have electric street lighting. There’s a stone plaque proudly displaying a later name, ‘Easton & Johnson Engineers’, over the original front door, though there’s now a more modern extension to the side.
It’s been involved in engineering ever since, though the ownership and the product focus has changed over the years. The factory is now owned by TS Converting Equipment, a company best known for its two main product lines: a range of slitters and winders called Elite Cameron; and the Compact Foilers range of cold foiling machines for litho and flexo presses plus the Scodix inkjet digital embellishment presses.
