ABOUT US

Forfar Galvanisers, established in 2000, is a leader in the galvanising industry with a team of 18 dedicated staff. The company sets itself apart by employing innovative environmental systems that are unique within the sector. We are committed to delivering industrial efficiency while minimising environmental impact, staying true to our promise of sustainability.

The business is operated by David Ritchie (Implements) Ltd., an engineering company based in Forfar. The venture was initiated by Jim Watt Ritchie, who founded the plant after experiencing frustrations with the quality and delays from existing galvanising vendors. When told, “If you don’t like it, do it yourself,” he took the challenge and created a solution.

The result was a state-of-the-art galvanising facility with an automated system designed to reduce handling damage and ensure a smooth, continuous workflow. The plant boasts Scotland’s widest galvanising bath, measuring 5.5 metres long, 1.5 metres wide, and 2.8 metres deep, capable of handling a diverse range of projects.

One notable client is the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), for whom Forfar Galvanisers has become a trusted partner, providing high-quality galvanising services to meet their exacting standards.
