James Halstead PLC (JHD) is a company that manufactures and distributes flooring products. 

It was founded in 1914 and listed on AIM under the ticker JHD in 2000. James Halstead plc operates in the Building Products industry in the Capital Goods sector. 

In 1915 James Halstead found the company that still bears his name.  The company was founded as a weaving operation and the original product line was woven cotton textiles, which were both dyed and waterproofed.  Later this was to turn to the production of rubberised fabric used in rainwear and outdoor clothing.

The family business developed rapidly with the founder’s sons Herbert and John investing in technical developments that would innovate new products and it was they, in 1934, who expanded the manufacturing capabilities to include flooring products.


Towards the end of the 1940’s, and after many experiments, Halstead technologists made a crucial breakthrough in the practical application of PVC when they created a first of its kind vinyl sheet product, POLYFLOR.
