A tradition of reliability

Lister Cleaning Machines is a division of James Lister & Sons Limited, which was founded in 1874 in Tipton by a local schoolteacher, James Lister, as a hardware and ironmonger shop. 

​Although we have grown considerably since then, we have stayed close to our roots, still supplying various types of hardware and industrial/janitorial supplies to a very large customer base, extending out from the Midlands across the country.
​
We remain a privately owned family business with 3 of the owners being the great, great grandsons of James Lister.  The family spirit ethos and pride in the tradition of excellent customer service and honesty is a key differentiator in how we do business. ​

A professional approach

Don't let our friendly nature fool you - we work to high standards;  our business is accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OSHAS 18001 and all of our engineers are time-served/ qualified professionals.

We are members of Nationwide Hygiene Group which further extends our capability to provide support for national contracts.
​
Our whole ethos is centred around being highly responsive.  Whether you need a quote, a machine delivered today, a service visit, or just some friendly advice, we'll move heaven and earth to get you what you need.

​Give us a try - you won't be disappointed!
