Firm packs a punch as it marks robotic revolution

Edward Pryor can claim to be making its mark on everything from engine parts for aerospace giant Rolls Royce and chassis numbers for luxury car maker Jaguar through to cutlery, jewellery and even cigarettes. And, just how the Sheffield-based company does it is equally diverse – using everything from robots with lasers on fast-moving production lines where hold-ups lasting a few seconds spell disaster, to a man with a hammer and a hand-held punch. In more than 160 years the Egerton Street company has done everything from engraving the 70 words of the Lord’s Prayer on a piece of metal no bigger than a 5p piece to developing complex software that automatically reads 2D barcodes packed with data tracing every production process. What’s more, it still does just about everything it has ever done and more using techniques that range from the traditional skills of craftsmen engravers to CNC machines.
