» INCORPORATED IN 1972 FOLLOWing the creation of the first Titon product , a window casement stay , John Anderson created Titon Hardware from his garden shed in Feering , Essex . 50 years later , Titon Hardware has gone from strength to strength and is now a market leader of window and door hardware and ventilation products .

Titon Hardware has had a manufacturing site ( including research and development ) in Haverhill since 1977 and its head office for Sales and Marketing in Colchester .

Titon manufactures and supplies ventilation and window and door products – ranging from its signature Trimvent background ventilator ( first made and patented by John Anderson in 1973 ) to window handles , locking systems and hinge systems as well as powered ventilation products including whole house systems and extract fans . As a manufacturer , Titon also invests heavily in research and development , which

enables the company to use the latest technology to keep its products both innovative and cost effective .

The company ’ s longevity and success is in no small part due to the loyalty , skill and expertise of its workforce as explained by Tyson Anderson , the firm ’ s Sales and Marketing Director and the son of John Anderson . The company continues to be a leader for domestic ventilation and hardware products in the UK and developing sales in many export markets .

Tyson said : “ That initial ‘ family feel ’ permeated to every new employee and is reflected in the fact that anyone who left the business always reported back that they missed that Titon ethos and friendly approach .

“ This works alongside a strong emphasis on Research and Development , which provides high quality , reliable and competitive product that has always given the company a solid foundation on which to obtain business and success .

“ The operational bases in Haverhill and Colchester have provided a valued local workforce , enabling Titon to compete and resist the need to produce our products overseas , and in doing so helping the local and wider economy .

“ I have seen Titon progress from its initial inception all those years ago and I ’ m very proud of what has been achieved from its humble beginnings .”
