Brian Colwell incorporated Sharmic Engineering Ltd in the picturesque town of Stourport-On-Severn, United Kingdom, in 1976. This date marks the beginning of a storied journey for our British-run company, which has forged a reputation for excellence in manufacturing and expertise that spans over four decades.

As well as offering machinery, equipment and services, Sharmic Engineering has been at the forefront of producing high-quality liquid, paste, and powder compounds since its inception. What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to manufacturing these compounds in-house, ensuring complete control over the production process and guaranteeing the consistent quality our customers have come to expect.

Our dedicated team of engineers and technicians possesses an unrivalled depth of experience in the industry. With each passing year, we have enhanced our expertise, incorporated the latest technological advancements, and refined our manufacturing techniques. This continuous improvement has allowed us to stay ahead of the curve and maintain our standing as a premier provider of compounds.


The origin of our company name, Sharmic, is no coincidence. Brian Colwell, the founder of the company, wanted to create a name that reflected his commitment to family values and the strong ties that bind. Combining the names of his two beloved daughters, Sharon, and Michelle, Shar-mic was born – a name that resonates with the essence of a family-run business.
Today, Brian's vision lives on through his daughters, who remain actively involved in running the company. Sharon and Michelle have not only inherited their father's entrepreneurial spirit but also his dedication to upholding the values that have shaped Sharmic Engineering and made it a trusted name in the industry.

As a family-run business, Sharmic Engineering prides itself on the personal touch we bring to every customer interaction. Our clients are not just numbers; they become part of our extended family. We prioritise building lasting relationships with our customers, ensuring we understand their unique requirements and offering tailored solutions that meet their needs.

While the world around us has changed dramatically since our establishment in 1976, our commitment to delivering exceptional products and outstanding service remains unwavering. Whether it is providing compounds for the automotive, aerospace, or pharmaceutical industries, we strive for perfection in every aspect of our work.

In our purpose-built facility in Stourport-On-Severn, we have invested in state-of-the-art machinery and innovative technologies to maintain our competitive edge. This forward-thinking approach allows us to adapt to evolving industry demands and consistently deliver innovative solutions to our customers.

At Sharmic Engineering, we take pride in our rich history, strong family values, and technical expertise that has been refined over many years. From our humble beginnings in 1976 to our present-day operations, we continue to uphold the principles that have made us the preferred choice of countless industries.

As we look towards the future, we remain committed to pushing boundaries, fostering innovation, and maintaining the highest standards of manufacturing. Our dedication to our customers, employees, and the legacy of Brian Colwell ensures that Sharmic Engineering will continue to excel for generations to come.
