Microplus (original) (raw)

Microplus were a range of GRP boats (glass reinforced plastic - or fibreglass) produced in the UK in the 1960s and 1970s. Originally trading as Microplas, the company has its origins in the 1950s producing bodyshells for a small number of fibreglass sports cars. However, by 1958 the company had started producing Microplas boats. In the mid-1970s the company split into two manufacturing groups, Microplas and . Microplas continued to produce body shells and later plastic pipes, while Chrisidon Marine manufactured the boats, by now renamed Microplus.
