As you may know at the beginning of our journey L&S manufactured parts for Petter engines. We also had connections to, at that time a separate company, Lister Engines. Lister Engines are known worldwide, the company started in 1889 manufacturing cream separators, sheep shearing machinery, milk churns & barrels for butter! (A bit different to the powerful diesel engines they would go on to make)

Lister was known for manufacturing engines for the marine industry. Their diesel auxiliary engines were a popular choice among many at the time, and after combining Lister Petter have continued to be a popular choice of engine to this day.Below you can see two original Lister documents we found in our archives this week! They detail the engines that were used back in 1973.

We are back next week with a story about exactly what L&S used to manufacture, and who helped us on our way! If there is anything you want to see or any part of the business you want to know more about please do drop us a message.
