Crowther Limited was originally a textile machine manufacturer from Leicester, England. In 1950, John Crowther came to Canada to establish Crowther Ltd as a division. Crowther Machinery soon evolved from a textile machine supplier to a broader industrial equipment representative. Today, while we are still heavily involved in the textile market, we are also a strong leader in static control solutions as well as marine lubricants.

​

In 2005 Crowther acquired WS Wood Associates Limited, static control specialists, located in Cambridge, Ontario. In 2008 Crowther acquired Ross Whitehead, a long time leading Canadian distributor of textile equipment and accessories.

​

In March 2019, to maximize our efforts, and serve our clients better, we have combined both companies under one name, Crowther & Wood Ltd, while keeping both our founders' names. 

​

In June 2019 we opened an office in San Pedro Sula, Cortes, Honduras to serve our market in Central America. Our company started doing business in Honduras after a corporate contract to supply the Vickers needle lubricant was signed with Gildan in 2005
