Despite our reach across the world today, JALITE began and grew from the work of one family and small team in Britain. We have been manufacturing JALITE AAA class C+ photoluminescent fire safety signs for decades, helping to protect the life safety of evacuees worldwide.

The revolution in fire safety in our earliest days, saw the introduction of legislation designed to protect people and property, especially in industrial, commercial, and marine environments. With new beginnings came a call for guidance and recommendations for the design, commissioning, and installation of fire safety signs.

Within the setting of Britain, there was a demand for more prescriptive guidance for fire safety signs, forcing the development of British Standards for fire safety signs that identified, informed, instructed, and located risks.

JALITE was positioned to help to inform the British Standards through our in-house research and development of technology, using real life application as our premise. Our background of in-house scientists and marketing professionals, alongside co-ordination with external experts created a recipe for quality technical information to deliver to the fire safety industry.

Since, we have used the same principles, working with, and supporting homegrown businesses who also endorse quality, whilst incorporating both international and British requirements for safety.

As we mark St. George’s Day this week and celebrate our English heritage as a family run business, we thought we would touch on our commitment to working with other British manufacturers, though our involvement in the Made in Britain community.

However, first we thought we would highlight what Made in Britain is and what the trademark represents for consumers and other companies.

Who are Made In Britain?

Made In Britain is a support for British manufacturers as the trademark helps to verify the origin of British products. In doing so, Made in Britain helps to bring together the manufacturing community, through collaboration with other trade bodies and government departments in the UK.

Since its origins in 2013, Made in Britain has worked to promote and celebrate the best in British manufacturing, allowing for transparency for end users looking to get products manufactured on their own doorstep.

JALITE authorised distributors through us, are also doing their part to support local businesses.

JALITE Photoluminescent Products & Sustainability

Made in Britain trademarks naturally encourages sustainability, with homegrown members declaring their manufacturing processes, policies, initiatives, and certifications.

Declaration of origins of manufacturing materials and processes is imperative as the world moves towards sustainability in all areas of industry. This is even more integral on British soil, as the UK government commits to ensuring the UK is net zero by 2050.

This commitment to removing emissions to lessen the effects of global warming, has rippled to all areas of industry, particularly manufacturing, with policies designed to decarbonise the sector.

In addition to working with local businesses as part of our manufacturing process and involvement in Made in Britain, JALITE AAA class C+ photoluminescent material is an alternative sustainable solution to protecting life safety.

Our JALITE AAA photoluminescent material negates the need for additional lighting, using existing surrounding lighting for activation, with high optical brightness from even low levels of light. Hence, JALITE photoluminescent fire safety signs help to facilitate the safe egress of evacuees when they need it most.

JALITE also use a flame retardant, self-extinguishing recyclable PVC backing for all our JALITE AAA class C+ photoluminescent material.

All of this coupled with the JALITE commitment to working with British businesses, subsequently reduces our overall footprint, and yours too by extension.
