About Carlisle Carlisle FSP Europe
“To make Carlisle FSP the best brand name in European FoodService by being the most innovative, responsive, reliable and competitive supplier to the industry”.
Carlisle Group of Companies is a Fortune 100 company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Carlisle is a diversified Global Manufacturer operating in many industries including aerospace, construction, automotive and obviously Food Service.
The company began trading in 1955 as Continental Plastics and produced the worlds first plastic Bains Marie.
This innovation started a process that completely changed food storage and handling. A few years later, the first commercial-grade plastic Beverage Pitcher followed. This original became an international standard. Today's VersaPour is it’s direct descendent of what has become the most extensive line of beverage transport and commercial service products in the world.
In 1978, Continental Plastics of Oklahoma became part of the Carlisle Companies. Thirteen years later Continental Carlisle merged with SiLite Incorporated - a 46-year-old manufacturer of plastic foodservice products, giftware, and decorative accessories - to form Continental/SiLite International.
In 1994, we acquired the Sparta Brush Company . The Sparta brand was and still is recognized around the world as the premier name in professional quality brushes for the foodservice and food processing industries. Together, CSI and Sparta now offered more than 6,000 professional tools.
In March of 1996 we changed our name to Carlisle FoodService Products. The new name provided us with a more easily recognizable global identity and supported our vision of bringing real value to the markets we served in the form of a broad variety of quality products and services tailored to the needs of foodservice operators.
In February of 1997, we acquired the foodservice assets of Plastics Manufacturing Company (PMC), another historic U.S. Melamine manufacturer. With the addition of the PMC lines, Carlisle became the largest commercial-grade Melamine dinnerware maker based in America.
Other acquisitions such as Marko table coverings, Duraware Cookware and Toppo followed.
Our most recent acquisition was completed in January 2008 when Dinex ® joined the Carlisle FoodService Products stable. Dinex ® gives us a unique product line to suit the healthcare market.
