Initially the company specialised in the manufacture of coinage strip and coin blanks however also produces products for the construction industry. Prior to the mint's creation the nearby Birmingham Mint under the ownership of Ralph Heaton III had dominated the industry little competition in competing for minting contract. By 1912 the company acquired a contract from the Royal Mint to supply bronze Planchet for its London based facility and later started to supply coinage for the British Empire. Working in conjunction with the Royal Mint and the Birmingham Mint the Kings Norton Mint eventually struck its own coin series marked with a K N mint mark. With the outbreak of World War I priorities shifted towards the war effort and instead focused on ammunitions and weaponry. In 1926 the Mint was amalgamated into Imperial Chemical Industries.
