The first issue of 600 Magazine, then called "The 600" was published in November 1926. At the time it was a monthly and its 'raison d'etre' according to the first editorial was "The desire on the part of the Directors to foster a closer co-operation between the Parent Company and its many associated concerns.' Fifty years later 600 Magazine had a wider brief in that in addition to its staff readership each issue was read by some 200,000 existing and potential customers in the United Kingdom and overseas. In FIfty-FIfty the compilers have selected 50 of their published cartoon that 'still make us laugh' and have matched these with 50 pages of 'BIts and Pieces' from the 201 issues of 600 magazine that had been published in the preceding 50 years. The Group takes its name from the early head office address at 600 Commercial Road in East London. It grew over the years into one of the UK's leading metal recovery and engineering businesses and became a public company in 1947.600 Group formed its first machine tool company in 1932 and became the UK's leading lathe manufacturer through the acquisition of Colchester Lathes in 1954 and TS Harrison in 1971.In the 1980s, the Group established a strong market presence in the US through the acquisition of Clausing Industrial and largely disposed of its original UK metal and general engineering businesses.Over the same period, 600 Group also acquired Precision Engineered component manufacturers, Pratt Burnerd International and Gamet Bearings, and developed a new industrial laser marking division.Further acquisitions throughout Europe increased the Group's presence in key European markets, adding to the worldwide distributor network and offering some of the best machine tools, precision engineered components and laser marking systems available in the market today.The latest acquisition of TYKMA INC., a US laser marking company, has substantially increased the Group's presence in the industrial laser systems market.
