James Thomas Engineering
James Thomas Engineering Ltd began February 1977 in a small garage located in Bishampton, England. James Thomas and John Walters engineered and built the first spun aluminum Par Lantern which has become the industry standard. The company moved to Pershore in 1978 to a converted office unit and then to a 5,000 square foot unit in 1980. James Thomas Engineering started manufacturing truss and soon after the General Purpose Truss came into being. The total product range began to expand with additional sizes of Par Lanterns, Lighting Bars, Par 36 Spot Banks, Pinspots and other sizes of General Purpose Truss. In 1983, James Thomas developed the original Pre-rigged Truss System which was used by a major rock band on its world tour. In 1984, the company relocated into a 10,000 square foot factory at Station Approach, Pershore. The first Ground Support Tower System was also developed that year. Then in July 2000, the UK office moved to a 52,700 square feet facility with additional welding facilities, shipping warehouse, electrical department, drawing office, and administrative offices.
Meanwhile in 1990, James Thomas Engineering began manufacturing in the USA to allow simultaneous production of truss on both sides of the Atlantic. This operation continues to expand and now occupies 15,000 square feet of space. In 1992, the Supertruss system was designed and has proved that the innovative skills at James Thomas Engineering still lead the way in the industry. In 1996, the company started production of the Baby Tower. In October 2001, the US office relocated to a new purpose built facility providing 30,000 square feet on a 6.28 acre site. This has allowed James Thomas Engineering to continue to offer the service the industry requires. James Thomas Engineering offers Truss Design and designs including Roof Truss Design, Steel Truss Design, and Metal Truss Design.
