Welcome to Ellard, the home of AUTOMATION FOR DOORS & GATES

Ellard is an industry leading supplier of Door Drives, Controls, and Accessories. In addition we also offer a wide range of Gate Automation, Barriers, and Access Control.

Originally established in 1952, producing sliding door track, Ellard diversified into the Industrial Door market in the late 90’s, initially offering a wide range of tube motors.

Ellard increased the scope of products and began it’s long standing relationship with a number of exclusive suppliers in China. The relationship with our suppliers is a key to our success and we directly employ a team in China to control quality and development projects.  Further products were introduced as the company diversified into the Gate and Barrier market, securing an exclusive distribution agreement with V2 of Italy, a well known and established supplier.

Today Ellard’s turnover is approaching £10m with further expansion planned in the future through organic growth and acquisition.

The new premises, which we took occupation of in September 2013, have been extended by 600m², housing a new assembly and testing area, as well as creating more space for us to expand our range of Sliding Door Gear range and a larger space for the research and development team.

Ellard is a very active member of the Door and Hardware Federation,and plays a significant role in raising industry standards.

We also invest heavily in our own staff, with constant training programs both in house and at our suppliers to ensure that all products are of the highest standards.

Ellard is ISO 9001.2000 accredited, and also holds Investors in People Bronze accreditation, which was re-approved in October 2015.
