U.K.-Based Atwell International Celebrates 30 Years

Worcestershire, U.K.-based Atwell International Ltd. is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, marking three decades of innovation, industry leadership and commitment to advancing safety standards within the lift sector. Founded in 1996, Atwell International has grown from a specialist supplier into a globally recognized provider of VG Safety Products™ and associated lift components, supporting clients across the U.K. and international markets. The milestone anniversary was recently celebrated with a special event where colleagues, industry partners and long-standing connections were invited to join the team for a celebratory dinner and a tour of the facilities. A significant milestone in the company’s development came in 2013 when Atwell International relocated to its current headquarters at Ball Mill Top Business Park in Hallow, Worcester. In 2024, Atwell International launched the VG AiO Speed Watcher, an advanced all-in-one overspeed detection and uncontrolled movement monitoring system designed to enhance lift safety and simplify installation for engineers. The product quickly gained industry recognition, with Atwell International named Best Supplier – Safety Products at the ELEVATOR WORLD Europe Ellies Awards during interlift 2025. The AiO Speed Watcher was also shortlisted as a finalist in the EW Product of the Year Award, further highlighting its impact within the sector. Most recently, the company has been named a finalist in the 2026 Chamber Business Award – Excellence in Innovation. This follows Atwell International being named a finalist in the Worcestershire Innovation Champion Award 2026.
