From its earliest beginnings, in sheds behind a cobbler’s cottage, the cricket ball industry has remained very bohemian. Over the years it has become clear that the manufacture of the cricket ball poses problems on a scale and magnitude well beyond the capabilities of this cottage industry. Cricket balls have been plagued by persistent problems including increasing softness, loss of shape during play and lack of visibility during periods of low light.
However the cricket ball industry is now benefiting from a major industrial manufacturer bringing its wide experience of development and innovation into this market.
We (Tiflex Limited of Liskeard, Cornwall, a member of large, Woking based, James Walker Group of companies) now own Oxbridge Cricket Balls, formerly of Ringwood, Hampshire.
See the range
We are no strangers to quality being one of the first companies to attain ISO 9001 certification and our more advanced technology balls have been awarded the British Standards Kite Mark.
We are experts in the field of impact and vibration absorbing compounds, particularly where recovery of the compound to its pre-impact state is a key requirement. Many of the products we manufacture are important to our everyday lives, as they are used in such situations for absorbing vibrations in buildings caused by underground railways, in rail tracks caused by trains and in factories caused by machinery to name but a few.
We have brought our huge technological experience of thermoplastics, elastomers, plus synthetic and natural rubbers to challenge the cricket ball industry.
