Geschiedenis
Harrisons Lister Engineering Limited was registered in 1946 to take over the existing engineering agency business of Harrisons and Crosfield Limited and its associated companies, and to act as agents for engineering products in association with R.A. Lister and Company Limited. The Company exported engines and other mechanical and electrical equipment and general engineering supplies to Ceylon [Sri Lanka], Malaya [Malaysia], Netherlands East Indies [Indonesia], North Borneo and later also Singapore. It had branches in Colombo, Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jesselton and Sandakan. In 1948 the Company decided not to open branches in Indonesia, but to effect sales through Harrisons and Crosfield Limited's branches in Medan and Batavia as agents.
In 1982 Harrisons Lister Engineering in Malaysia merged with J. Whyte and Company (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. J. Whyte (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd was sold in 1987. In 1983 Harrisons and Crosfield Limited purchased from R.A. Lister the remaining stock of Harrisons Lister Engineering (Singapore).
