John Lindsay ltd was founded in Britain in 1926 by a Scotsman, John Lindsay. Later he moved to Iceland to assist British trawler owners with supplies. Using his knowledge of both countries Mr. Lindsay started gradually to build up his business. One of the first agencies he acquired was Thermos Vacum Flasks. In fact Lindsay was the first agency in the world for Thermos outside Britain, its country of birth. John Lindsay ltd. is still the agent for Thermos after more than 80 years of service.
