EspañolJOHN DICKINSON STATIONERY
(Redirected from John Dickinson Stationery Limited)
'John Dickinson Stationery Limited' is a leading British stationery company.
The company was founded in 1804 by John Dickinson, who invented a continuous mechanized paper-making process. Dickinson patented his ideas in 1809 and in the same year he gained financial backing from George Longman. He established paper mills at Apsley (a former flour mill), Nash Mill and Croxley in Hertfordshire.
In 1850, the company started mechanical envelope manufacturing, with gummed envelopes for the first time.
During the 19th century, Sir John Evans and his son Lewis Evans (whose elder brother was the archeologist Sir Arthur Evans) both managed the company.
The Lion brand was adopted as the company logo in 1910 and in the following year (1911), the Basildon Bond brand was established. Companies were then formed in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere (thirteen countries in all).
The company pioneered the production of window envelopes in 1929.
1966 saw the formation of the Dickinson Robinson Group Ltd (DRG), creating one of the largest stationery and packaging companies worldwide. In 1999, the company relocated from Apsley to the village of Sawston south of Cambridge.
