History
This company was registered in 1930 as a private limited company and wholly owned subsidiary of Harrisons and Crosfield Limited (CLC/B/112/001-016). It took over an agreement between Wilkinson Process Rubber Company (CLC/B/112-165) and Harrisons and Crosfield Limited, where Harrisons and Crosfield Limited acted as sole concessionaires in Europe of Wilkinson Process Rubber Company's products. The company had a small factory at Camberley, Surrey.
Wilkinson Rubber Linatex Limited bought Midland Aggregates Limited (CLC/B/112-117), which owned sand and gravel deposits, in 1961. In 1968 it acquired half the equity of Crawford, Hansford and Kimber Limited, which made electronic equipment and which had a factory at Aldershot. In 1970 it purchased 20,000 shares in Lymington Machine Works Limited (of Lymington, Hampshire), which made injection moulding machines; it sold the company in 1975. From around 1989 Wilkinson Rubber Linatex Limited was known as Linatex Limited.
