Anglo-Polish-Ukrainian firm Supersprox has acquired a range of specialist tooling from the now-defunct sprocket maker Talon Engineering, aiming to fill a supply gap left by Talon’s closure.
Founded in Wales in 1959 and now operating from Poland and Ukraine, Supersprox manufactures a patented hybrid steel/aluminium performance sprocket range and has pledged to address specialist sprocket demand in the wake of Talon’s demise.
Supersprox CEO DJ Maughfling outlined the company’s plans: “Last year, Talon Engineering in Yeovil ceased trading, and that left a hole in the sprocket supply chain. Talon was excellent at producing unusual sprockets for a wide range of motorcycles and other sprocket-driven vehicles, and was well known for its speedway and trials sprockets. It also produced small batches of bespoke sprockets for almost all types of vehicles, including British bikes, and vintage and modern classics.
“We acquired all the tooling for the production of engine sprockets, which arrived at our main production plant in Poland in early February 2026. We plan to launch a special sprocket production department,” Maughfling said.
“This isn’t new territory for Supersprox. My father, Roger Maughfling, started the business in Knucklas, Wales, in 1959, focusing on British and European motorcycle sprockets. Supersprox has been an OEM supplier to Husqvarna for more than 50 years and continues to work with KTM as an OEM supplier. We offered a special sprocket service at the Wales factory until 1998.”
The modern Supersprox factory in Poland produces about 15,000 engine sprockets a month and will now launch its specialist production line. “Initially,” said Maughfling, “the service will cater to orders of 10 or more of a given type, almost any sprocket, in any chain size and tooth count. We plan to extend the service in 2027 to produce single sprockets. If you were a Talon customer, get in touch and let’s see if we can meet your transmission needs.”
