a visit by myself and goldie87
1970
Towards the end of the 1960s, Luigi Brucciani, Father of Pal Managing Director Richard Brucciani, began importing forage hats from the USA, for his Leicester coffee shop 'Bruccianis'. This was the beginning of the Fast Food era and a market need was identified in the UK for catering headwear, which the entrepreneurial family decided to pursue.
By 1970 Richard Brucciani had acquired leasehold premises of 5,500 sq. ft. on the Oadby Industrial Estate, south of Leicester. The Paperlynen Company Ltd. was established, trading as Pal Wear Disposables, and importing and distribution began for a limited range of disposable headwear. Just three years after the firm's inception, manufacturing had commenced for the Pal range of headwear
2007
After a long search for a suitable manufacturing site to move to in South Leicestershire, Pal secures a deal on premises based in Lutterworth, Leicestershire. July 2007 therefore sees a farewell to Sandhurst Street, Oadby, after 26 years' of manufacturing, and the consolidation of manufacturing, offices and warehousing on one 95,000 square feet site at Bilton Way, Lutterworth.
