Bulpitt & Sons Ltd was an electrical goods manufacturer and limited company in Birmingham, England, established as a brass founder in the late 19th century. By the early 20th century the company registered The "Swan Brand" name.


In the 1920s, the company began manufacturing domestic electrical appliances including kettles and irons. They developed the first submersible electric heating element.
