Overview

Numatic was founded in 1969 in the Somerset town of Crewkerne, in southwest England, where it produced its first commercial vacuum cleaner design for cleaning coal, oil and gas fired boilers. The company later moved to a watermill in nearby Yeovil, where it developed the NV-2 and the original NV-250 commercial vacuum cleaners, and by 1973 had produced its first floor machine plus wet and dry vacuums. Its current product range includes cordless scrubber dryers, wet vacuums and dust-free vacuum systems.

History

Numatic was founded in 1969 in the Somerset town of Crewkerne, in southwest England, where it produced its first commercial vacuum cleaner design for cleaning coal, oil and gas fired boilers. At the beginning, the company employed six people in a little factory that was not as big as a garage. The first vacuum cleaner designs were made of a combination of oil drums and everyday components such as suitcase handles, furniture castors and domestic washing-up bowls, assembled to provide a simple, reliable workhorse for commercial and industrial use. By 1971, demand had grown too big for the little Crewkerne works and the company moved to a watermill in nearby Yeovil, where it developed the first serious commercial vacuum cleaner, the NV-2, followed closely by the original and highly successful NV-250. Both were all-steel machines. By 1973, Numatic had started to break into the professional cleaning industry and produced its first floor machine, plus wet and dry vacuums. By 1974, the company had outgrown the mill and moved to its first real factory.
