FOREST CITY was founded in 1902 by Samuel Quilliam, and the family tradition remains through to today with the company still being wholly owned by members of the Quilliam family. The factory was first located in Manchester's famed Trafford Park, Europe's first purpose built industrial estate. The first products were associated with overhead cables and rail switching systems for electric tramcars. However, the origin of the present production line was laid in the 1920's when FOREST CITY became the first British manufacturer of traffic signals.
