Clement Herbert James Wells, founder of the Sarco Company, was born in London, England on August 15, 1874. He formed an agency in New York for the Sanders Reiders Company in 1908, to sell thermostatic steam traps and controls. At the onset of WW1 it was difficult to import these products and so he set up manufacturing, firstly with sub-contractors and eventually with their own manufacturing plant in Allentown, Pennsylvania. |

Sarco Canada came into being in 1926, with Clement's brother Eric, forming the Sarco Company in Toronto. At about the same time, Clement Wells had representation in the UK with a firm called Walker Crosweller. Eventually a separate company was formed with the name Spirax, which eventually became known as Spirax Sarco. In 1931 Mr. Lionel Northcroft was taken on by Walker Crosweller as the Sales Manager, he eventually became the major shareholder and Managing Director Spirax Sarco Limited.
