DIBRO LTD / DICKINSON BROS.Company Name/s: Dibro Ltd. / Dickinson Bros.
Name Derivation / Meaning: Dickinson Brothers - Dibro.
Location/s: 8/10 Lilly Road, Litherland, Liverpool, England.
Trade Mark/s: DIBRO (Sometimes within an oval or diamond).
Dates: Founded 1933 - Present.
Notes: Initially set up by three brothers, Ewart, Harry and David Dickinson, the company specialised in the printing of general business stationary. After WWII the stationary business was sold off and the proceeds used to buy a factory in Litherland where simple metal toys were produced for F.W. Woolworth. The company was quick to invest in plastic injection moulding equipment as well as a vacuum metallising facility. This allowed a move towards the production of plastic toys. Dibro also produced metallised plastic parts for other toy makers including Meccano Ltd. Ultimately the company was able diversify beyond the toy industry. Today it makes mainly vacuum coated products.
