Welcome to The Active Spring Company


Precision Service
Formed in 1980, The Active Spring Co. Ltd began in a small cart shed with little in the way of machinery or equipment. Since that time we have expanded our production to include Clips, Leaf Springs, Pressings, Washers, Torsion, Double Torsion, Compression, Tension, Conical and Wire Forms and have gained an enviable reputation for quality, reliability, friendly service and value for money.

In fact a large number of other Spring Manufacturers trust and rely upon us to supply items that are not within their own capabilities. Our customer focused attitude and continual investment in the most sophisticated machinery available to our industry have taken us from that cart shed to our current premises, a purpose built facility situated on our own four acre site. Our most recent acquisitions include a Wafios FMU2.7, a Wafios FMU4.7, and a Bennett Maxicoil MC-24 (the largest one in the world) which means that we now have one of the most extensive wire ranges in Europe from 0.152mm up to 30mm.



Wide Range
We manufacture for a very diverse range of industries from surgical and operating equipment, aircraft manufacturers, racing teams, vending machine manufacturers, lawn care equipment, valve manufacturers, (the petrochemical industry is a speciality to us) lighting equipment to door hinge manufacturers.

Our facilities are perfectly set up for any type of industry and we can cope with any quantity from 1 off to millions. We can manufacture from samples, drawings or specifications, whichever is available and most convenient to our customers.
