Mr Clarence A. Ford, better known to the furniture industry as the inventor of the twin wheel castor, established Caford Pty Ltd in 1944 as an engineering based company supplying components to the Australian Defence Department.
Subsequently the company manufactured a range of propelling pencils until 1957 when Mr C.A. Ford invented and then manufactured the world’s first twin wheel castor and Caford’s long involvement with the furniture industry began.
Today, Caford is an established supplier of office chair kits and components, including castors for which it was first known.
