James Thomas Engineering was formed in February 1977 in a small garage in Bishampton, England by James Thomas and John Walters, manufacturing spun aluminiumpar lanterns. In 1978 it moved to Pershore and started manufacturing truss. It developed a pre-rigged truss system in 1983 and relocated to larger premises in Pershore in 1984. In 1990 JTE opened a USA office for manufacturing truss.[1]
In July 2000 the UK office relocated again to a larger 52,700 square foot facility in Worcester and in October 2001 the USA site relocated to a 30,000 square foot facility.[1][2]
In 2002 the company started manufacturing LED stage lighting fixtures as part of a product range known as PixelRange, including the 1044 PixelLine fixture.[1]
