About us

Since the company was established in 1911 by Richard Padley, Padley & Venables Ltd. has been at the forefront of many of the major developments in the manufacture and use of mining and construction tools.

Over the last 100 years, P&V have been the originators and patent holders of numerous products and processes. These include the original development of Percussive Button Bits, the establishment of Europe’s first facility for the overall carburisation of Drill Rods and the development of Male/Female Rods.

The pride we take in the products we manufacture, and our control over every aspect of the production process– from the rolling of specialist steel in our own Mill to our state of the art heat treatment facility– is confirmed by our ISO 9001:2015 Certification. Our highly dedicated and professional staff ensure the ISO standard is consistently maintained.

Our ongoing Research and Development programmes, coupled with continued investment in the latest manufacturing equipment and production techniques ensures that we can maintain our worldwide reputation for tools of the highest quality, whatever the application.

P&V has two UK based manufacturing plants as well as subsidiary operations in Germany and Australia. Our international dealer network ensures our products are available to a worldwide user base.

We are extremely proud of our history, our products and the excellent reputation we have built up over the last 100 years, as a global supplier of quality tools.
