Red Lantern Fireworks to return to the UK

[AnthonyUKpyro]

I've got some good news, Red Lantern Fireworks is to return to the UK. I don't know when, but they have said they will do at some point.

I remember their brief stint in the early 80's when Sohni (ESCO) Limited sold some of their products dual-branded i.e. Red Lantern / diamond ESCO logo, Weco / Red Lantern logo, and briefly in the late 80's / early 90's through Cosmic Fireworks Birmingham, and very briefly, as a standalone brand before the exited the UK and sold their UK depot at Tutbury Burton-upon-Trent Staffordshire to Cosmic Group at the West Pyro Site on the Failed Camp Industrial Estate.

I loved buying the Red Lantern Fireworks DISPLAY FIREWORKS selection boxes, they had some rather nice fireworks in them and the wicked Red Lantern Fireworks DISPLAY FIREWORKS single shot Titan Airbombs, they were wicked!

Will be interesting to see who the importer will or if they will be distributing the item in the UK themselves. They were known for supplying good quality products.

I think they are coming back as themselves.

They'll probably set up a new distribution depot, a UKCA outdoor firework test site, and explosives storage magazines over here of their own too.

Good to see. They have already returned in the US with the same logo as in the past.

Any new brand arrival is a brave move these days! Hope it works out for them and looking forward to seeing what they being in

They did have a go at UK retail fireworks originally early 90's as a standalone brand (I used to buy the Red Lantern Fireworks DISPLAY FIREWORKS selection boxes and Red Lantern Fireworks Titan DISPLAY FIREWORKS single shot air-bomb packs), but they swiftly vacated the UK and sold their base to Cosmic Group at West Pyro Site, Fauld Camp, Tutbury, Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire.

As I said, they had partnerships to supply fireworks to Sohni (ESCO) Limited and Cosmic Fireworks in their early years (you'd see Red Lantern Fireworks turn up in ESCO selection boxes and Cosmic Fireworks early selection boxes as well as packed firework ranges and single individual firework item ranges from these importers.

I just saw a video where apparently Red Lantern is available in the USA. The same logo was on the Product label.
