PRICE OF BATH
STORY SO FAR
Joseph Price moved to the village of Box, Wiltshire (just outside Bath) in 1936 to run a small factory developing rubber products — tyres, tennis balls and squash balls. At its 1970s peak, Price was making 80,000 tennis balls a week for Wilson, Dunlop France and Spalding, before Far East manufacturing collapsed the high-volume contract market. Today Price of Bath is the only tennis ball, squash ball and racketball manufacturer in the UK, and in Europe.
