What is the history of Crompton Lights?
Crompton Lamps is one the oldest manufacturers in lighting and has switched hands many times since being founded in 1878.
The business began with Colonel Crompton, an entrepreneur who designed and installed some of the earliest recorded electric based lighting, with some of his work being conducted in grand buildings such as the Holyrood Palace or Windsor Castle. 49 years later, a partnership was formed with Frank Parkinson, founding Crompton Parkinson and turning the business into a manufacturing powerhouse, creating a wide range of industrial electrical products.
The business was then acquired by Hawker Siddeley aerospace group in 1968 where it remained until 1991 when the business was acquired by the conglomerate BTR. In 1999, Crompton Lamps was acquired by Cooper Industries, rebranding the company to Cooper Lighting and Security Ltd. However, Cooper Industries withdrew from the lighting industry in 2006, resulting in Crompton Lamps returning to their original name after being acquired by management and being relocated to their present day site in Bradford.
Crompton Lamps was acquired for the last time in October 2011 by GCH Corporation Limited. Despite the eventful history, Crompton Lamps has maintained their top quality and innovative work ethic throughout time and continues to go from strength to strength in the lighting industry.
