Our History

Strengthening our Group. Supporting your growth

DC Norris was founded in 1970 by David Norris and his father Douglas, beginning as a small, family-run engineering firm. Over the decades, it has grown into a global leader in food processing technology — and now sits at the centre of the DC Norris Group, a collection of specialist engineering companies serving the food, beverage, and pet food industries.

Today, the Group includes DC Norris, BCH, AE Mixers, Gilwood, and DCN North America. Together, we bring decades of innovation, technical expertise, and manufacturing strength to customers around the world — from small-scale producers to large multinational brands.

Our group-wide vision is simple:
To empower manufacturers with the tools, technology, and expertise they need to build efficient, scalable, and high-performing processing operations.

While each company brings its own area of specialism — from mixing systems and pressure vessels to food production lines and hygienic factory equipment — our goal is to bring these capabilities together to offer a truly end-to-end solution.

With a UK-based team of over 100 engineers, designers, and fabricators — and a global support network — the DC Norris Group continues to lead the way in energy-saving, high-efficiency solutions for modern food manufacturing.
