OCTO overviewA timeline of the history of Ansell Lighting
In 1992 the brand, Ansell Lighting, was born. The first trading month of Ansell Lighting – August 1992 – recorded £70 in sales and the first product to be sold under the Ansell name was a humble A70MHL, a 70W HQI floodlight.
The business went from strength to strength and the first catalogue was produced in 1994. The early catalogues featured approximately 150 products, a figure which is dwarfed by today’s offering of 3,300 innovative product lines. The business was soon one of the leading brands in Northern Ireland. By 2000 Ansell had a 10,000 sq ft distribution centre in Belfast, with a trade counter, and stocked a huge range of high-quality luminaires and accessories.
With the Northern Ireland business established, the operation needed to expand into a larger market and was ready to trade with wholesalers across the rest of the UK, and in 2001 set up new headquarters in Warrington.
Success soon followed and with rapid sales growth and expedited product design, led to the formation of a new subsidiary, Ansell Lighting China. Design, engineering and quality control teams are located within their test facility and work closely with our UK based product development colleagues, overseeing on-going research, design and rigorous testing to support our extensive manufacturing programme.
“The team knew exactly what an electrical wholesaler needed, delivering a comprehensive product range and an easy-to-use catalogue with clear pricing.”
