Company History

HomeCompany History

Rosh Engineering Ltd was founded by Roy Dormer in May 1981 after a career spanning more than 20 years as Chief Test Engineer and Quality Manager at a leading manufacturer through to 7 years as Managing Director of a transformer cooling radiator manufacturer. His technical innovations and research in transformers led to changes in International Standards, particularly in thermal design.

Rosh Engineering now owns a 2,000m² factory west of Newcastle just off the Main A1(M) Motorway.

The factory has a lifting capacity of 10 Tonnes. Every corner of the UK can be reached in a comfortable day’s drive with Benelux markets served by a daily ferry from the Tyne, and Ireland in a short ferry from the west coast.
