Kitsons Environmental Europe

In 1883 J W Kitson formed Kitsons Insulations specialising in thermal insulation. In 1965 the firm was floated on the London Stock Exchange as a Public ltd Company and, in 1974, the shares were purchased by Pilkington Bros of St Helens. In 1991 two of the Kitsons Companies were sold to G & H Montage GmbH of Germany. Kitsons Environmental Europe ltd was then established in 1993 to supply asbestos removal services in main land Europe, particularly in Germany. This was a successful venture and it was decided that this firm would take responsibility for works in the United Kingdom.
