Bensons at 60

2026 represents a milestone in the history of Bensons Panels, marking as it does 60 years since the company was originally incorporated in April 1966.

From its origins around a kitchen table in the 60's, supplying oil guages, rotary cup burners and controls to the heating industry, Bensons has adapted, grown and evolved within an ever changing market place.

Pivoting to the design and manufacture of electrical control panels in the early 70's, Bensons has prided itself on stability, reliability and the supply of outstanding solutions to our customers, ever since making our home in Normanton. 

To mark the anniversary, we have a couple of events planned over the remainder of the summer to bring the team together to celebrate the successes of the past, whilst at the same time look forward to an exciting future. 

We look forward to sharing more about events and our highlights over the remainder of our anniversary year.
