Lamplas History
1970
1972
High Spen
Lamplas moved to High Spen in 1974, moving into the old Co-op buildings at Collingdon Road and started an additional line in producing gas bottle covers for the UK touring caravan market. Lamplas continued expanding over the next few years and additional buildings were purchased at Ramsay St where the finishing, dispatch and head office were located, the pattern and mould dept moved to a building in Glossop Street.
1995
Pont Factory Leadgate
Due to continuing expansion in the leisure industry with the introduction of multiple components for the caravan and motorhome market, Lamplas relocated to Leadgate where they purchased a former factory located at Pont Lane giving them 55,000 sq ft of production space.
1998
Castleside Ind Est Factory No 1
By this time Lamplas were suppling to over 60% of the caravan and motorhome market and were quickly running out of space at Pont Factory. A second factory was located at Castleside where the larger components were relocated to be manufactured, finished and dispatched.

Lamplas diversified into a new process and started producing solid surface worktops and door surrounds, by 2007 the company were producing a range of wash basins for a large UK bathroom furniture manufacturer and continuing to grow that side of the business.
