History[]

McCall and Company Limited[1] was founded in 1921 by TH McCall, Edwin Llwewllyn Raworth and CW Hamilton in a stock yard on Queens Street, Sheffield. They supplied steel rods and bars which were in high demand for the expanding concrete trade.[2] The company grew quickly and expanded into supplying straight or bent rods and bars in cut lengths.

As demand grew, the company moved to the Railway Engineering Sheds at Nunnery Lane, Sheffield.

The company connected with United Strip Bar Mills[3] and Templeborough Rolling Mills,[4] sourcing rods in coil. The Templeborough Mills helped finance McCalls to relocate to a new plant in 1929. This enabled the company to expand their product offering.

Over the 20 years, demand for their products increased, and in 1948 the company introduced a ‘post tension’ bar into the new ‘post tensioned’ concrete market. This was a developing trend in concrete construction and the Macalloy post tension bar was an instant success.[5]

Macalloy were awarded The Queens Award for Export Achievement in 1996,[6] in recognition of the company’s achievements. At the time, exports accounted for 65% of the company’s sale.

In 2003, the company moved back into private ownership following a MBO headed by the current Managing Director Peter Hoy, and in 2006 the company commissioned a purpose-built factory on the Old Dinnington Colliery site where it remains today.

In 2010 Macalloy were awarded The Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade (Export).[7]
