Chalmit - A Hubbell Company

Chalmit^®, formerly known as Andrew Chalmers and Mitchell Ltd, was founded in 1910 to manufacture and supply equipment for the large marine market based on the River Clyde. The company soon became a major supplier of lighting and electrical products to the marine industry in the West of Scotland and thereafter throughout the whole country. In the 1970’s, success in the Marine oil tanker business led to diversification into the wider oil and gas market, capturing 85% of the North Sea HID lighting requirement which is maintained to this day. The company’s involvement within the global oil & gas market expanded and resulted in a shortened version of its name to Chalmers and Mitchell. Throughout the world the company is now recognised by its product name, CHALMIT^® .

Chalmit^® was purchased from Whitecroft in 1998 to become part of Hubbell Incorporated, within their specialist hazardous area business. As part of the Hubbell Harsh & Hazardous group, Chalmit^® can now provide, in tandem with Killark and Hawke International, a wide ranging lighting project capability for IEC and a complete product range for NEC applications, including enclosures, fixtures, fittings, control stations, receptacles, switchgear, etc, for the provision of hazardous area and industrial lighting products.
