Things Looking Up But Big Name Disappears

A worm's-eye vew of towers at Liniar's mixing plant

3 August saw one of the best known names in the industry cease to exist - HL Plastics Ltd Liniar’s trading company has changed its name to Liniar Ltd.

A company spokesperson said: "We’re proud of our heritage as a local business, but our Liniar brand has nationwide (and international) reach. Customer feedback told us the different names were confusing, so we’ve made an administrative change and are now trading as Liniar Limited – with all the same details including company registration and VAT number.

 

Nothing’s changed

"Apart from our company name, absolutely everything remains the same – we’re the same focused team of people, designing and making the same product ranges, with exactly the same customer care."
