Pifco (sometimes rendered PIFCO) is a British electrical goods brand and a former manufacturer of small domestic appliances.
The company had a long history of acquisitions and was itself ultimately acquired in 2001 by US company Salton Group. The company came to an end in 2007, but the brand continued to be used and since 2021 has been owned by Sabichi, which has revived the brand.
History
Founding and growth
The company was established as the Provincial Incandescent Fittings Co. in 1900 by Joseph Webber, who opened a single lock-up shop in Failsworth, Oldham, Greater Manchester. Formed as a limited company in 1902, the company initially sold gas lighting appliances and accessories such as burners and mantles.[1][2]
After World War I the company diversified into various electrical items.
