Vickers Ltd was a British engineering company founded in 1828, known for its diverse manufacturing capabilities. The company initially focused on producing machinery and tools but later expanded into sectors such as shipbuilding, armaments, and aerospace. Vickers played a significant role in both World Wars, supplying military equipment and vehicles. In the post-war period, Vickers diversified further, acquiring several companies and entering new markets. The company was involved in the production of tanks, aircraft, and submarines, contributing to the defense industry. Eventually, Vickers Ltd was merged with other firms, leading to its dissolution in the late 20th century.
