About us

Temperature Indicators is a family business that was formed in 1988 by Lynne and David Arrowsmith as an offshoot of their Pitney Bowes distributorships that provided labeling and packaging solutions to retailers and industrial clients in the North of England. The local HJ Heinz Co factory in Wigan, Lancashire approached them to see if they could supply a label that changed color after exposure to a specific time and temperature combination in a canning process. From that moment we began our activity as a distributor and our business in the sector expanded rapidly as we began to work with clients all over the world. We aim to develop long term relationships with all our clients and ensure that the products we provide precisely meet their needs. We pride ourselves on providing highly reliable and accurate products that have been proven in the field for many years. 

Things have moved on from those humble beginnings in the mid 1980s. That same HJ Heinz plant is still one of our highly valued clients nearly thirty years later and we're proud to have served customers in food processing and canning facilities in over seventy five countries. Under the guidance of the current CEO Tim Arrowsmith, the son of the founders, the business now operates out of two locations: one in Kent, UK, the other in Pasadena, California, and has warehouses in London and Los Angeles.
