History
In 1840, William Rowland became the first company to import Swedish iron into Sheffield for cutlery production, and we have gone from strength to strength since. William Rowland is an internationally recognised supplier of high-quality metals.
The city of Sheffield is well known for steel manufacturing and metallurgy. From the 18th century onwards it was quickly established as one of the main industrial cities in the UK, although it was recognised for the manufacture of knives as early as the 14th century with a notable mention from Chaucuer in The Reeve’s Tale.
