The Hopetown Carriage Works was established in the town for supplying locomotives to the Darlington Railway. The three major works were developed in the town including Darlington Works, Faverdale Wagon Works and Robert Stephenson & Company.

The bridge building and engineering also played a significant role in the growth of the town. The headquarter of the large engineering firm Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Company is also located in the town and built Sydney Harbour Bridge, Tyne Bridge and the Humber Bridge.  The town is home to the leading engine building firms and industrial headquarters of AMEC.
