Danor Engineering Ltd was founded by Mr Wexper or Mr David (as he was known by his customers and colleagues) in 1952. Since Mr David’s retirement in 1987 Danor Engineering in North London has been run by Peter Donker Curtius, Mr David’s son in law.
We are renowned for the famous 12lb Goose Iron and the DN1 Boilers which unbelievably are still going strong in many workshops to this day. The Goose Iron is still a treasured possession of many of our customers.
We are and always have been a family business with traditional values.
