Imagine bedside lamps, submarines, spacecraft and flowmeters measuring the movement of fluids as diverse as milk and water. If only André-Marie Ampère had known what the future held when he founded the science of classical electromagnetism that he named ‘electrodynamics’…

We operate worldwide, but our coil manufacturing expertise is regularly used in man’s most advanced technology! Just imagine where we’ll go next, and what we’ll do for you in the future…

Since we started making copper coils in 1948, we’ve used enough wire to circle the Earth around five times! That’s a lot of wire (approximately 200,000 Km) and lots of innovative, reliable products working around the world. Wherever you are in the world, you can be sure we know what we’re doing when we manufacture your electromagnetic coils…

It takes more than 200 tonnes of ore to make just 72 Kg of copper wire. At least 80% of the copper ever mined has been recycled and remains available for use; naturally, our environmental policy dictates that we recycle scrap.
As well as doing this and having ISO14001 accreditation, our products help protect environments around the world. From detecting a leaking water main to measuring the flow of life-giving water between oceans and deserts, we’re here for you…

Anstee copper coil technology is used around the globe. We share a planet where water covers 71% of the surface. Deep in the oceans, our coil technology plays a vital role in the safe operation of civilian and military submarines…

In 2010, US publisher Ward’s estimated that there were more than one billion vehicles in the world. Although it’s an inexact science, other estimates suggest we’ll have 2.5 billion cars by 2050. Given that most of them have an electromagnetic coil in their starter motor, that’s a lot of coils on our roads.

In 2008, scientists used a series of pulsed electromagnetic coils (a so-called ‘molecular coil gun’) to halt the molecules in a supersonic oxygen beam! It’s hard to comprehend; fortunately, our demonstrable reputation for quality, reliability and the ability to create a wide range of bespoke coils is much easier to understand.

In 1820, Danish scientist Hans Christian Ørsted discovered that electric currents created magnetic fields. Four years later, Britain’s William Sturgeon invented the first electromagnet. Little could they know how, nearly 200 years later, British company Anstee Coil Technology would supply electromagnetic coils around the world.

One of the biggest advantages of electromagnetic coil flowmeters is that they aren’t mechanical. Freedom from mechanical parts means there's no costly wear. And in turn, a long, reliable, cost-effective service life with minimal maintenance.

The first windmills, the predecessors of today’s wind turbines, were used in China around 2000BC. How appropriate then, that Anstee Coil Technology now manufactures at its factory in modern China.

The principle behind coriolis flowmeters for measuring mass flow rather than volumetric flow is named after Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis. He was the French mathematician and engineer who first described the behaviour of objects in a rotating frame of reference – the Coriolis Effect. His name, along with André-Marie Ampère’s, is now engraved on the Eifel Tower in Paris
