Ormond Engineering Company Limited was a manufacturer of a range of products including condensers for radios, loudspeakers, toasters, hairdryers, various electrical components, and various plastic moldings and accessories.

Established circa 1916 as a manufacturer of screws and small machined parts by Edward Joseph Law Delfosse.[1]

In 1925 Ormond Engineering Co. Ltd. was formed with Ormond Delfosse as a director of the company.

During the 1920 & 30s, they manufactured variable condensers, dials, and wireless components of all types, radio receivers and loudspeakers, screws, and turned parts and stampings.

In the early 1930s, they added Bakelite moldings, and Bakelite electrical accessories to their production.

Modern Wireless reported in their September 1933 edition the products they had on show at the August 1933 Olympia National Radio Exhibition.

So many new lines have been introduced recently and at the Exhibition to the Ormond catalogue that it is with the greatest difficulty that we can pick out examples without leaving unsaid many things, we would like to say.

The variety among the variable condensers is, perhaps, naturally most striking, for we have the choice here of anything from a single slow-motion condenser to the latest screened gang type; but in the ranks of the loudspeakers we have almost equal variety, for we can choose plenty of models between a moving-iron loudspeaker unit and the very attractive cabinet moving-coil speaker which is sold for something under £3.

The number of different loudspeakers that are offered will surprise visitors to Olympia, or those unfortunately unable to attend who write to the makers for a complete catalogue. We believe there is something like twenty-five various types and models from which to choose so that the loudspeaker section is well catered for.

In the 1940s they manufactured toasters and hair dryers.

Circa 1977, the company was acquired by Armstrong Equipment.
