Expanded Polystyrene Supplies

In 1969 Colin Thomas and Brian Jackson took on a contract to construct insulated panels using Polystyrene sandwiched in between 2 boards. These panels became popular and as the contract grew so did the need for space, they moved the operation from Colin`s garage in Denton, Newhaven to a small rented area in Dixons Joinery in New Road, Newhaven. The panels took a long time to produce due to the surface being ridged as the manufacturer could not produce flat boards. Colin and Brian decided to build their own hot wire cutting machine, built from dexion and timber. This was the first of its kind and is still one of the main machines used in our factory today.
