Moore & Wright is an iconic British brand with a legacy dating back to 1906. Founded by Frank Moore in Sheffield, England, the company became a cornerstone of British precision engineering, specializing in high-quality metrology instruments such as micrometers, calipers, and squares. For generations, Moore & Wright tools were synonymous with the craftsmanship of Sheffield's industrial heritage.

In contemporary years, the brand transitioned from its independent roots to become part of a larger global industrial group. While the engineering and design standards often maintain their British heritage, a significant portion of the manufacturing has been decentralized or moved to overseas facilities in order to remain competitive in the global market. Today, the brand is owned by Bowers Group, showcasing a blend of traditional English brand identity with modern international manufacturing processes.
