ELEY Ventus pellets

[venoman]

They both shuffled off the perch then? Luke Camilleri certainly did and his company made the later not very accurate Wasp pellets. The last time I bought some Eley .22 rimmie ammo it was made in the Phillipines

I thought that a firm in Spain bought Eley but were not interested in the pellets and John Rothery had all the pellet making machines ?.

Eley Limited was bought by IMI industries and operated within IMI until 2014 when it was brought out by an investment company backed by Lloyds TSB. Eley Limited is now located in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham,


Last Monday, October 6th, ELEY Limited − headquarterted in Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham, UK − announced that they have been acquired by LDC in a management buy-out backing operation worth 42 million British Pounds (around 53 million Euros, or around 67 million U.S. Dollars).

The deal saw LDC buy ELEY from their previous owners (the IMI Plc. group, formerly known as the "Imperial Metal Industries") on behalf of its existing management team, led by Management Director Andrew Lane.

For the first time since 1928 − when it was acquired by the Nobel Industries and then merged to form the Imperial Chemical Industries − ELEY is now once again an independent company, owned by its management. The transaction was completed using capital from LDC’s £500million manufacturing and specialist engineering commitment that was launched in 2011, and represents LDC’s 13th new investment of 2014, having invested over £200million of new funding, together with a further £15million of capital to support portfolio business acquisition

IMI

The Company was founded by Scottish entrepreneur George Kynoch who opened a percussion cap factory in Witton, West Midlands in 1862, trading as Kynoch.[2] The business soon diversified, manufacturing goods ranging from soap and bicycle components to non-ferrous metals, but by the early 20th century it had developed particular expertise in metallurgy.[2] After World War I it merged with Nobel Industries.[2] In 1926 the Company acquired Eley Brothers, an ammunition business.[3] The Company, by then known as Nobel Explosives, was one of the four businesses which merged in 1927 to create Imperial Chemical Industries.[2] The Witton site became the head office of ICI Metals.[2] In the 1950s the company's researchers perfected the process for producing titanium on a commercial basis.[2] In 1958 ICI Metals bought 50% of Yorkshire Imperial Metals: it acquired the other 50% four years later.[4]

That's an interesting history lesson

Look on eley's page. They supplied bullets too the confederacy during the civil war also.

Nothing about pellets though.


ELEY is a British company who have manufactured ammunition since 1828.

William and Charles Eley established the company originally in London and later moved the company to Birmingham, beginning a long and proud tradition in the manufacture of rimfire ammunition. Specialising in .22LR calibre cartridges, ELEY is widely regarded as the world leader with tenex, its flagship cartridge, sold in more than 130 countries.

The name Charles Eley first gained public attention through an advertisement in the London Morning Chronicle on 10th July 1828. The advert promoted the opening of an extensive factory that supplied patented cartridges hailed as the greatest ever improvement in gunnery. The proprietors were two brothers, William and Charles Eley, whose adventurous and courageous spirit greatly influenced this developing industry.

William Eley had three sons who inherited the business from him in 1842. They greatly expanded the business in the second half of the nineteenth century, which included a major expansion in 1874 supported by the sale of shares to the public. During this period ELEY won many awards for the quality of our products throughout the world. The most prestigious of these was the Grand Prix, bestowed on the company at the Paris Exhibitions of 1898 and 1900. The early 1900s saw a major development when ELEY became one of the founding members of Nobel Industries alongside the world renowned Kynoch Company. In 1928 the business moved to the Witton site in Birmingham as a subsidiary of what is now Imperial Metal Industries, a major multinational engineering conglomerate.

Major ammunition developments from ELEY include: a joint patent with Samuel Colt for revolver cartridges in 1855, Britain's first center-fire cartridge in 1857, the development of the Boxer primer system, development of the first bottleneck rifle cartridges in 1869, and thin-brass totally waterproof shotshell cartridges in 1882.

During the American Civil War ELEY was a major supplier of ammunition to the Confederacy. Our first .22LR rimfire cartridges were produced in 1860, but our current rimfire domination began in earnest in 1951 with the introduction of the first generation of ELEY tenex.

ELEY’s goal behind the initial tenex development was to provide British made .22LR ammunition built to extremely fine manufacturing tolerances to support British competition shooters. This was borne out at the 1951 British Championship and the Grand Aggregate events at Bisley, won by ELEY team shooters using ELEY tenex.

A key example of the company's technological innovation is the ELEY Autoprime System developed by the company in the early 1980s. It remains to this day the only fully automated dry priming system in the world. Such investment in technology inevitably reflects the high levels of product and systems quality, features which are acknowledged by the company's accreditation to the ISO 9002 European standard.

In 2000 and 2001 ELEY’s considerable investment in the new and revolutionary ELEY tenex Ultimate EPS and ELEY match EPS ranges took target shooting to a new level.

In May of 2003 ELEY completed a huge investment in a historically significant relocation of ELEY to a purpose built factory a few miles from Witton in the West Midlands. Not only does this demonstrate ELEY’s long term commitment as the world's leading supplier of quality cartridges, but it provides the modern facilities vital for future product research and development to remain the best in our field.LEY is a British company who have manufactured ammunition since 1828.
