Teagle Machinery Ltd


An interesting and action packed evening was in store for Lanson YFC last Thursday as the club visited Teagle Agricultural Machinery at Blackwater, Truro. A dedicated team of staff gave members an in depth insight into the production line within the business. The club was shown the initial design and development process using Computer Aided Design software and then the practise of making machinery products in the factory. Members could see how a plain sheet of metal undergoes cutting and bending techniques to create components of the final product.

The tour continued with welding and painting departments, and finally viewing the finished items which are sold all over the world, as well as within the UK.

The family run business has grown from strength to strength in the last 60 years and there are now over 130 employees. It was visible to see a great emphasis upon product quality, value for money and customer care that Teagle Machinery Ltd provides. The club would like to thank the staff for such a well organised and inspirational evening.

About Launceston YFC

Launceston Young Farmers Club was established in 1947 and is run by members for members.

We have weekly meetings on Thursdays which range from talks on homeopathy or photography to activities such as circus skills or beach barbeques and visits to farms, tourist attractions and businesses.

We take part in many competitions and events across the county and country with great sucess, and do the odd bit of socialising as well...

The club is a charitable organisation itself, but we also engage in fundraising events for other charities, raising over £2000 last year.

Members range in age from 16 to 26 and anyone is welcome to join.
