1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by
George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as
a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St.
Mark’s Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved
into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street,
which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower
brand name.
1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware
designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can
see from the original poster, their stand No. A410
must have been a great sight as it promoted their
“Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at
prices all can aord to pay”.
1961 Tower became one of the largest
manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric
kettles, tea pots and other household articles with
over 1,000 employees.
1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the
expanding Tower brand.
Infrared Technology
Unlike cooking with an induction boiling ring,
which heats the pan, infrared boiling rings directly
heat the food.
The infrared technology emits infrared energy to
the food being cooked, with little drying eect.
Infrared boiling rings generate higher temperature
than induction boiling rings, and heat up much
faster. They also retain the heat for longer, staying
hot for up to 30 minutes after turning o the heat.
