S S White Technologies UK Limited dates back as a business in the UK to the late 1920´s when a factory was opened in Camden Town (London) primarily to supply the Ford Motor Company with speedometer cables. At this time the Company was part of the US owned S S White Dental Manufacturing Co. The versatility of flexible shafting gave it many other applications in the aerospace, defence, and general industrial fields and this lead to a rapid expansion resulting in the move, in 1961, into a purpose built factory in Bletchley near Milton Keynes, employing at its height 170 + people. In 1968 S S White Dental was taken over by another American company, Pennsalt. At this time S S White Industrial was split off from the dental business and became part of the Equipment Division of Pennsalt, later to become Pennwalt. The company remained part of Pennwalt until the end of 1987 when Pennwalt´s rationalisation lead to a Management Buy Out to become S S White Industrial Limited.

Over the years the automotive Speedometer and tachometer cables were almost entirely replaced with electronic devices. The increased sophistication of vehicle interiors lead to new openings of seat and steering wheel adjusters. In February 2009 SS White Industrial was acquired by SS White Technologies Inc. of St. Petersburg, FL, which is also a result of a Management Buy Out in 1987, and became S.S. White Technologies UK Ltd. Since reuniting with its former sister company in 2009 S S White Technologies UK Limited, has been targeted at applications engineering to solve mechanical rotary drive problems, which it does successfully in a vast range of applications and industry sectors.
