Re: Hymac Excavators
Did they ' engineer Wolverhamptons future'.
I worked on a construction site in Wolverhampton centre in 1988 tbh it was pretty grim at that time .

They owned quite a few different industries around the country including NEI Thompson Tankers which used to be at Moxley just down the road from Wolverhampton, sadly that is now a housing estate (surprise surprise)

Re: Hymac Excavators
Below is an advert from 1955 for Rhymney Engineering Company Limited aka 'RENCO', the engineering business established in 1946 owned jointly by Powell Duffryn and International Combustion, until Powell Duffryn acquired full ownership in 1966. The business originally specialised in mining related products.
Rhymney Engineering undertook production of Hymac products, evolving into Hymac Limited owned by Powell Duffryn.
