It is no coincidence Bolton Surgical are based in Sheffield, with a steel making pedigree second to none, it was the ideal place for Sheffield born William Henry Bolton to set up the business in the early 1900’s.
Manufacturing Surgical Instruments and Scissors from his workshop in the Centre of Sheffield, he supplied hospitals and exported throughout the Biritsh Empire.
The onset of hostilities in 1939 meant William turned his manufactuing skills into making instruments for the war effort, at the end of the war he moved the business to larger premises.
William Bolton, with the help of the family and in particular his son William S Bolton, created the beginnings of what is now Bolton Surgical Ltd.
The company is proud to be independent, and is still owned and run by the Bolton family, continuing a tradition of manufacturing spanning many decades.
