James Halstead plc is a United Kingdom-based manufacturer and distributor of commercial flooring products. Its head office is located in Radcliffe, Manchester.

History

James Halstead established the business as a manufacturer of waterproof cotton textiles and rubberised fabrics in 1915.[1] The flooring market was entered in the 1930s.[1] It was registered as a public company in 1948.[2]

Polyflor was introduced in the late 1940s. It represented a new type of plastic flooring, combining PVC, limestone and a plasticiser.[3] By the late 1980s James Halstead had transitioned to become a specialist floor covering manufacturer.[2]

Belstaff, the British outerwear clothing brand which was acquired back in 1948, was sold to Italian businessman Franco Malenotti for £10 million in 2004.[4]
