Andrew & Suter Limited was founded in 1898 by Nicholas Andrew and George Suter at premises in Goswell Road, London EC2.

From the outset the company was involved with the boxmaking and packaging industries and in 1920 a factory was built at St. Albans. The London office was kept until 1940 when it closed as a result of the Second World War.

During the war years the firm switched from making packaging machinery to items that helped the war effort - including tank turrets and bullet making machinery.

When peace returned we resumed our specialist trade. The company was then managed by Denis Suter, son of George Suter who had joined in 1935 before serving in the Army during the war. Under Denis Suter as well as manufacturing our own equipment, we maintained and increased links with overseas companies in order to supply customers with the best machinery for every packaging application.

David Suter joined the Company in 1958, with his brother Mark Suter starting at Andrew & Suter Limited in 1976. On retirement of their father, David became Chairman and the two brothers diversified still further into the corrugated board industry.

In September 1987 the company relocated to a one-acre site at Alban Park, St. Albans, in Hertfordshire with 19,500 sq. ft of office, factory and warehousing space. At this new location new equipment has been designed and built for the corrugated trade thus expanding our export potential.

Following the untimely death of David Suter in 1998, Mark Suter became Chairman and Managing Director and further changes have taken place culminating in the design and manufacture of our latest machinery for the corrugated market. These new developments coupled with our expanding network of overseas agents ensures a bright future for both domestic and export business.
