Hodge Clemco – Now Part of SurfacePrep UK

Founded in Sheffield in 1959, Hodge Clemco pioneered the UK’s surface preparation and finishing industry. Built on British craftsmanship and innovation, and driven by excellence, Hodge Clemco grew to become the UK’s leading provider of blast equipment and abrasive materials.

Hodge Clemco was one of the first in the industry to offer fully bespoke blasting systems, complemented by comprehensive aftermarket care packages—from total servicing solutions to System MOT checks that ensure compliance with industry regulations. With strong roots in abrasive innovation, they’ve also led the way in developing tailored recycling systems and custom blasting setups. As the UK’s largest supplier of blasting parts, spares, and consumables, Hodge Clemco has shaped industries from aerospace and defence to medical, setting the standard for surface preparation nationwide.

Hodge Clemco’s legacy extends beyond cutting-edge equipment, and lives on in the relationships they forged, and the standards they set.

In 2021, Hodge Clemco, alongside legacy brands Hogg Blasting and Finishing and Complete Finishing Systems, joined SurfacePrep UK, becoming part of the largest one-stop shop for surface preparation and finishing solutions.

Now, as part of SurfacePrep UK, Hodge Clemco has joined the largest one-stop shop for surface preparation and finishing solutions across the UK, USA, and Canada. This strategic move strengthens their ability to deliver world-class products, technical support, and bespoke engineered systems, while continuing to uphold the values that made them a trusted name in the industry. Together with SurfacePrep, Hodge Clemco is poised to lead the next generation of surface preparation innovation.
