Ifor Williams Trailers
Ifor Williams Trailers are the United Kingdom's largest manufacturer of trailers under, based in Corwen, Denbighshire, North Wales.
Started in 1958 by local farmer Ifor Wade Powell Williams, an on-site galvanizing plant gives the company total control over quality and efficiency in the production of chassis and other assemblies. The company employs approximately 750 people across five sites in Clawdd Poncen, Cynwyd, Ruthin, Deeside and Sandycroft, Flintshire. During the Great Recession, 63 employees were made redundant in late 2008.
Production was affected by fire on two occasions. The first, on 28 August 2012, caused severe damage to the company's Deeside plant. The second, on 14 September 2017, was limited to machinery at the Clawdd Poncen site.
Their main showroom is located in the former Corwen railway station. Product distribution is handled by over fifty main dealers in the UK, with 25% of total sales going for export via independent distributors across Europe.
In June 2016, Ifor Williams became the main kit sponsor of Wrexham Football Club. The kit launch was held at the Urdd National Eisteddfod in Flint.
