Our Story
The story of Robertson begins in 1892, when Mr W. M. Dunn established the original family hardware company. Over the next century, the craftsmanship was handed down through the generations, diversifying into engineering and toolmaking, until three generations on, the company was re-established as Robertson Technical in 2000.
Formed by our roots in engineering, we still hold true to what we call the ‘toolmaker’s mindset’ which is the belief that with the right means, anything is possible. Today, with over one hundred and twenty-five years of dedication and experience in the industry, having honed and perfected our skills, we prove this belief every day. Specialising in the manufacture of bespoke masterpieces, our heritage has ingrained in us a microscopic attention to detail resulting in an intricacy fit for the finest residences throughout the world.
Bespoke Masterpieces
Exquisitely Crafted in Britain
We proudly champion British engineering and craftsmanship; from the initial design drawings to the hand finishing of each of our products, we oversee the production from beginning to end in our Surrey factory in southern England. We are committed to upholding British standards and by manufacturing every piece in Britain, we have greater quality control and the ability to deliver a great service. By drawing on local craft and materials, we sustainably manufacture products that are built to stand the test of time, lessening our carbon impact on the world.
Objects of fine rarity
We describe ourselves as ‘fine jewellers’ of architectural hardware because we believe we invest the same meticulous attention into the details of every piece as a jeweller. We see hardware as the jewellery of our homes; the metallic embellishments that adorn every room, built for a lifetime of handling. Such designs need to possess an enduring quality and our engineering approach has instilled within us an obsession for microscopic precision which has led us to hone and perfect our processes to achieve perfection in every detail, both aesthetic and functional.
