The Company was established in Holyhead in 1960, being on of the first ever government advanced factories to be occupied in the United Kingdom. It was originally a branch of a Birmingham company - Midland Electric Manufacturing Company Limited - which occupied the Holyhead site due to the restrictions placed by the government on the building in inner city areas at the time.
The main site at Holyhead (originally 20,000 sq. ft.) was extended in 1966 and again in 1971.  It now covers an area of over 100,000 sq.ft.  and occupies the other three sites on the Morawelon Industrial Estate also - giving a total area approaching 200,000 sq.ft.
    Over the past few years the Company have consistently employed in around 450 persons in the factory -  making the company on of the  major employers on Anglesey, and North Wales.  In 1974 the workforce numbers increased to around 500 - much as it is today.  Many of Holyhead's school leavers having their first job at the factory, and some staying until their retirement.
    When the factory was first opened, it was substantially an assembly only site - restricted almost entirely to production activities.  Components were delivered by lorry every day from Llangollen, and were exchanged for the finished goods that had been assembled the previous day - plugs, sockets, switches etc. etc.
    The Midland Electric Manufacturing Company were taken over by the Delta Group ( formerly Enfield Rolling Mills) in 1971.  The group had made several acquisitions in the electrical sector, but following a recession, a number of their sites were closed.
      During this time the Holyhead factory transferred all their product range to the former Nettle Accessories site at Chadderton, Oldham and in turn acquired a new range of core switchgear products, becoming the centre for 250v switchgear within the group.  Products were transferred from sites at Washington, Tyne and Wear and Redditch .
