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.[1]

In the mid-1970s the company split into two manufacturing groups, Microplas and Chrisidon Marine Limited. Microplas continued to produce body shells and later plastic pipes, while Chrisidon Marine manufactured the boats, by now renamed Microplus.[2]

Models edit

Over the years of trading, Microplus / Microplas produced a wide range of boats, from small cabin cruisers, through to small fishing boats and a speedboat.

Generally the model name has a direct correlation with the overall length of the completed moulding.[3]
