Joshua Greaves & Sons Ltd were established in 1919 to undertake general engineering work, but soon found specialist manufacturing capabilities which included Whitehead steam governors, bevel gearboxes and in-line shafting. Their first industrial mixer was manufactured in 1922 for Midland Vinegar of the UK. The company soon became recognised as Greaves Industrial Mixers, and as a leading industrial fluid mixer manufacturer within the United Kingdom they boast many prestigious clients in the leading fields of process engineering, including food, pharmaceuticals, breweries, soft drinks, paints, inks, resins, water and effluent treatments.
