JSB

JSB was founded in 1962 as J.Smith (Brinksway) Ltd., a family run company specialising in transport lighting solutions. This niche area was soon expanded to include the newly developing market for emergency lighting. As the company grew, the product portfolio increased further to encompass fire detection systems and security equipment.

To reflect this expansion, the company changed its name to JSB Electrical in 1980 and became a public limited company in 1986. Technical innovation and an emphasis on customer service quickly established JSB as a major international supplier, winning emergency lighting contracts with major customers, such as the Hong Kong Housing Authority.

In 1989 JSB joined Emess plc, a UK based group of lighting companies. Further strong growth during the 1990\'s and a growing reputation for stylish designs attracted the attention of Cooper Industries Inc., who purchased JSB in 1999. At the beginning of the new millennium, the JSB brand became part of Cooper Lighting and Security, along with Crompton and Menvier.
