CPT Fraserburgh – Factory

My last post set of on a Google question to see what had happened to the Consolidated Pneumatic Tool Company. I found the following link which take you to the Fraserburgh Heritage Centre where there is an exhibit of the old company.

I also found the following link to a page which gives some background to the Chicago Phneumatic Tool Company

Sadly the plant in Fraserburgh was wound down and no longer exists – the operation was moved to India – I think that labour costs were lower there. The comment at the end of the post refers to the plant in England – I typical Americanism – there were two plants in Scotland in Fraserburgh and Aberdeen – both now closed.
