Cockayne has been the market-leading manufacturer of filling and disgorging solutions to the whisky industry for 50 years. That expertise has now been significantly enhanced and we’re providing intelligently engineered process control systems to clients across the world.

The original business of JE Cockayne Limited was founded in 1965 and quickly established a reputation as the leading manufacturer of cask filling and disgorging solutions to the whisky industry. In 2016, the company was sold and, after a number of difficult years, it went into liquidation in August 2019. The intellectual property, including all designs, software and technical knowledge, was acquired by Cockayne Systems Limited, a joint venture between Edwards and DPS Group.

Edwards Engineering has strong mechanical and structural engineering experience across several industries, while DPS Group is a leading automation and controls company that has established OEM partnerships with Siemens, Rockwell Automation and Schneider Electric. Together, Edwards and DPS have more than 70 years’ combined experience of serving customers in the whisky, brewing, steel, pharmaceuticals, food, power, water, oil and gas sectors.

The support and experience of the owners means that Cockayne now has strong resources and complementary expertise to offer our clients.
