AMAL Products & Manufacturers
The company and trademark ‘AMAL’ was formed from
the ‘Amal’ gamation of two or three other organisations
(notably Brown & Barlow, Amac?) in the years immediately following
the First World War in order to manufacture and market carburettors
and associated products.
In the 1960’s AMAL became part of the IMI group of industries
before being sold in 1993 to Grosvenor Works Ltd in North London:
a family run business specialising in supplying components to
various fuel systems companies. Grosvenor then began revitalising
the AMAL product range by commencing a programme of re-introducing
some of the more popular ranges of obsolete product.
In 2003 the business was sold yet again, this time to the current
manufactures, Burlen Fuel Systems Limited. BFA, who also produce
both SU, Solex and zenith products have over recent years gained
a high reputation for continuing to produce carburetters and spares
keeping a vast range of British classic vehicles alive.
BFS have continued to invest in AMAL product by further increasing
the range of popular obsolete back into production.
The ‘AMAL’ and ‘AMAC’ trademarks are
now owned by BFS and have been in constant use since their initial
conception and now cover a range of products covering carburettors
(principally, but not exclusively for motorcycle engines), controls
(brake and clutch levers, cables, etc.), fuel lift pumps, gas
jets and burner devices as well as gas safety valves.
Amal component and assembly part numbering sequence usually enables
the end product type and design age to be determined, i.e. the
earliest of the carburettor type discussed below is the 4, 5 and
6 series; these are generally assembled from piece parts and have
the same initial number (for example 4/035 where 4 denotes the
carburettor for which the part was initially designed/used and
the 4/035 designates the part itself). In principle, this numbering
system has been used for all AMAL product and piece parts over
the years.
