Label TextWebster Air Equipment Limited was founded in 1932 to manufacture air compressors and spray painting equipment. In 1936, it acquired Oakville Diecasting. It expanded during World War II to meet wartime demands, and then moved into custom diecasting for the automotive and electrical industries after the war. In 1965, the diecasting operation became a separate entity, Webster Mfg. (London) Limited. This company, which specialized in zinc diecastings, became the largest diecasting company in Canada. In 1970 it won the Zinc Diecasting of the Year Award for designing a miniature air compressor that could be held in the palm of your hand. In the late 1980s, it became a division of Curtis-Wright of Canada, Inc., and has since ceased operations.
