In the early 20th century the company registered The "Swan Brand" name.[1]
In the 1920s, the company began manufacturing domestic electrical appliances including kettles and irons.[1] They developed the first submersible electric heating element.[1]
In the 1970s, the company became a subsidiary of BSR (Housewares) Ltd., originally Birmingham Sound Reproducers, manufacturers of turntables for playing records.[1]
The rival French company Moulinex acquired the Swan Brand in 1988[1] and Bulpitt & Sons (Swan Brand) Ltd was eventually dissolved on 21 May 1989, just short of a century after the company's foundation.[1]
