From its humble beginnings in 1926, producing plain pedestal bearings for coal mining pit tubs, John King Chains (JKC) has embarked on a remarkable journey of growth, innovation, and global expansion, moving into industries such as Timber and Cement Production.

A Legacy of Expansion and Diversification
The rapid mechanisation of the collieries marked JKC’s first phase of expansion, meeting the growing demand for chain conveying equipment. This period of growth was just the beginning of a journey that would see JKC transform into a comprehensive supplier to the materials handling industry, including the specialised field of log handling chains, and chains used for high speed baking.
