Otter Controls Limited Information

Otter Controls Limited has a long history and was founded in 1946 to manufacture "snap action" thermostats under a new innovative patent for a three legged bimetal blade which is still in wide use today ! The concept behind the Otter bimetallic switch was developed during the 1940's when Otter’s founder first experimented with bimetal controls to provide thermostats for electrically heated flying suits for the RAF. Since those early days Otter has remained independent and has become well known for quality, reliability but more importantly innovation and product design. The Otter Group is still privately owned with a head office in Buxton, Derbyshire, United Kingdom, comprising of manufacturing sites in the UK, Europe, India and China. In addition, we have customer support in both the UK and Hong Kong, offering a full service of technical, design and sales support.

Otter Controls Limited is committed to the supply of products and services that conform fully to your requirements, working in partnership with your team to drive effective results for your business.
