Lister Engineering

Lister Engineering Limited, a family-run contract manufacturer established in 1966 and based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, specialises in general engineering and the bespoke building of machinery. The company primarily serves the printing and publishing industries, demonstrating a strong focus on developing and manufacturing specialised equipment.

The company possesses extensive manufacturing capabilities, including conventional and computerised machining operations such as drilling, boring, turning, and milling. They also offer comprehensive fabrication services, encompassing cutting, forming, punching, and welding, alongside specialty services like gear cutting, spark erosion, grinding, and slotting, as well as repair facilities. Lister Engineering undertakes both prototype development and larger production runs, catering to strict deadlines and customer-specific requirements.

A key differentiator for Lister Engineering is their innovative Reelstand Recycler, a specialised machine designed to efficiently separate paper from cores for printing, publishing, and paper companies. This machine enables the reuse of cores and the sale of recovered paper for recycling, improving environmental credentials and generating revenue. Precision Colour Printing, a user of the Reelstand Recycler, reported a return on investment of less than six months, highlighting the practical and financial benefits of Lister Engineering's bespoke solutions.
