Our Journey

Founded by Derek and June Brown in 1967, Appleton Woods Ltd began as a manufacturer of stainless steel canisters for sterilising laboratory glassware. Now, under the leadership of Chairman Chris Brown and Managing Director Chris Moore, we have expanded our product range and grown our customer base. However, we are still proudly based in the Midlands and distribute our products to laboratories across the UK.
