A brief history... FWT was established in 1922 in Wellington, Shropshire (UK). The company originally traded in a varied array of motor factor components including axle shafts, wheels, pinions, pulley blocks and road springs. In 1939 FWT moved to the Wyle Cop premises in Shrewsbury where we remain to the present day. After the War, FWT diversified into engine components. John Thornton joined the business in 1948 and remains with the company today. In the late 1990's the business became part of the NBC Group and benefits from large company resources with a massively increased stock holding of popular and hard to obtain engine components from a multiude of manufacturers.
