Napier
A story of progress A rich history of precision and invention
Napier began in 1808, the brainchild of David Napier who learned his trade
in the workshop of Henry Maudsley, inventor of the centre lathe which
was the backbone machine of the industrial revolution. Mr Napier founded
his own firm which soon built a reputation for quality and engineering
excellence, developing everything from printing presses and franking
machines, to cars and aero engines.

In the early 1900s, Napier began manufacturing


Since the company began, cars and soon became Britain’s leading car
manufacturer. In 1918, Napier entered the
aero-engine market and our engines powered
Napier has enjoyed a reputation the Typhoon and Tempest fighter bombers of
the World War 2 D-Day offensive. After the war,
the company took the lead in powering gas-turbine
for precision and invention helicopters, some of the learnings from which led,
in 1947, to Napier beginning to design and An unrivalled pedigree in the
