Johnson, Cammell & Co.

1837 – 1970

Company in Sheffield that manufactured various iron and steel products.

Thomas Johnson and Charles Cammell founded their factory called Johnson, Cammell & Co. in 1837. Following Johnson’s death, Cammell continued the operation under the name Charles Cammell & Company. In 1861 the product range was expanded to include material for railways and iron cladding. After Cammell’s death, the company continued to operate until it merged in 1903 with the factory of the Laird brothers, who built ships in Birkenhead. The new firm, Cammell Laird & Co. Ltd, engaged in the manufacture of ironclad warships.
