Polyflor Covering The World
The incorporation of James Halstead Limited: 1915
It all began back in 1915, founded by James Halstead as a weaving operation. James started his own company whilst he was still working for another company as a Weaving Shed Manager in Manchester. Starting with a product line of his own making woven cotton textiles which were both dead and waterproofed. Eventually, James turned to rubberised fabric used in the manufacture of mackintoshes.
Later, in 1934 James Halstead brought in a machine to friction calendar (or roll) rubber onto a teased fabric – thus being James’s first flooring product he’d ever created.
In 1948 Belstaff joined ‘THE JAMES HALSTEAD GROUP’ of companies as they became a public company on the Stock Exchange on 30th April 1948, issuing 10,000 ordinary shares at just ten shillings each.
Polyflor Style A was created with Bernat Klein which was specific to the Property Services Agency’s interior furnishing scheme.
2006 – The Queen’s Award was presented to James Halstead Flooring for Enterprise in the category of International Trade.
