Celebrating 100 Years of Truck-Lite Europe

We’re thrilled to celebrate a century of innovation and excellence here at Truck-Lite Europe. From our beginnings as Flexible Lamps Ltd and the launch of the Rubbolite™ brand in 1924, to our current position as a global leader in commercial vehicle lighting solutions, our journey has been marked by a relentless commitment to progress and industry expertise. For 100 years, we've been dedicated to keeping our customers safely on the road.

Our Origins and Growth

It all started in London back in 1924. Inspired by a child's rubber toy, we developed the world’s first rubber lamps for commercial vehicles, giving birth to the Rubbolite™ brand. This groundbreaking idea set the stage for our long-standing tradition of quality and innovation. Over the years, we’ve grown through strategic acquisitions, expanding our capabilities and diversifying our product offerings. This growth has built a loyal customer base and solidified our reputation for delivering unrivalled vehicle lighting products under the Rubbolite™ name.

Joining Forces with Truck-Lite

In 2006, we took a significant step forward by merging with Truck-Lite. This integration not only expanded our global presence but also reinforced our commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions for commercial vehicle lighting. Today, as Truck-Lite Europe, we continue to honour our legacy by delivering high-quality products designed to meet the evolving needs of our customers. Our dedication to technological advancement in commercial vehicle lighting is unwavering.

"As we celebrate this significant milestone, we reflect on our rich heritage and look forward to a future filled with continued innovation and growth," says Paul Lucchi, Managing Director of Truck-Lite Europe. "We extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated staff who have worked tirelessly to build this company, and to our loyal customers who continue to support us."
