From the administrators' statement
The following statement has been prepared by the Directors
T Saveker Limited, the founding company, was established in 1903 by Thomas Saveker in Aston producing joinery shop fittings. T Saveker very quickly realised the need to move into metahwork manufacturing and began developing gas and light fittings using the trade name of Ceilite which is still used today within the sliding door track and cabinet systems.
Savekers were one of the first companies to introduce an electroplating process. During the second world war the company undertook manufacturing of parts for Sten guns, Spitfires and stirrup pumps. A 2” generation had joined the company including Bert, Frank and Ron.
