Celebrating over 20 years of partnership, we take immense pride in being the main supplier of From The Anvil, a brand synonymous with excellence and innovation in the ironmongery world.

The Launch of From The Anvil

In 2000,  From The Anvil  made a significant mark in the world of ironmongery by launching its brand with a debut product brochure showcasing around fifty handmade products. This milestone signified not just the birth of a brand but a resurgence of traditional craftsmanship blended with modern aesthetics. The initial offerings, characterized by their unique design and unparalleled quality, quickly garnered attention from enthusiasts of authentic ironmongery. However, the growing demand and expanding product line soon necessitated a move from the quaint garage in Dolau to a more substantial factory unit in Llandrindod Wells. This move was not just a change of location; it represented  From The Anvil's readiness to embrace larger markets and broader horizons.

Introduction of the Blacksmith Collection

2005 was a hallmark year for  From The Anvil as it introduced the Blacksmith Collection, a testament to the brand's commitment to traditional ironmongery. This collection, manufactured from mild steel using hand-forged methods, stood out for its durability, design, and authenticity. The expansion of the factory not only facilitated the holding of greater stock levels but also ensured that stockists could offer a next-day delivery service to their customers. The Blacksmith range, with its rustic charm and robust construction, quickly became a cornerstone of  From The Anvil's product offerings, embodying the brand's dedication to quality and craftsmanship.

The Period Collection Launch

In 2008, leveraging the manufacturing and design expertise honed over the years,  From The Anvil broadened its horizon with the introduction of the Period Collection. This new venture into solid brass and bronze forged products marked a significant expansion of their product range. The Period Collection, with its meticulous attention to detail and adherence to historical accuracy, catered to a niche yet growing segment of customers looking for period-appropriate ironmongery. The launch not only diversified  From The Anvil's product offerings but also reinforced its position as a leader in the ironmongery sector. This period also saw a generational shift in leadership, with Mark’s son, Tom, taking over as Managing Director in 2012, ensuring the brand's legacy and its commitment to excellence continued.

Continued Growth and Popularity

Since 2008,  From The Anvil  has experienced remarkable growth, becoming a sought-after name in the ironmongery industry. Its popularity is not just a testament to the quality of the products but also to the brand's ability to adapt and innovate.  From The Anvil has successfully managed to stay relevant by closely following design trends and customer needs, making it a preferred choice among consumers. This growth trajectory is indicative of the brand's dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and customer satisfaction, positioning  From The Anvil as a leading choice for those seeking quality, durability, and design excellence in ironmongery.
