Boulton is renowned for his partnership with Scottish engineer James Watt, which began in 1773 with the aim of producing revolutionary steam engines. Their collaboration led to the establishment of Boulton's factory at Soho, near Birmingham, where they manufactured their groundbreaking designs. By the early 19th century, over 500 Boulton and Watt engines were powering Britain's mines and factories.
