EG Wrigley and Company

E G Wrigley & Co Limited was a British tool maker, car component, and mechanical parts manufacturer, located at Foundry Lane, Soho, Birmingham active from 1897 to 1923.

Edward Greenwood Wrigley established a tool making business at 232 Aston Road, Birmingham in 1898.

Their reputation for high quality was excellent though Dr Lanchester went on record as saying the one use for a Wrigley Worm was for fishing.

In early 1920 they issued shares to take control of engine-maker J. Tylor and Sons[4] who were supplying engines to Angus-Sanderson which was intending to move to large scale production.

[2] By 1930 trucks of from 10 cwt up to 5 tons capacity were being made and Dictator and Imperial single and double-decker buses.
