Mullan Lighting expands its product range from traditional
pub and church lighting to vintage and industrial-style
lighting. The company begins to export to the United
Kingdom.
Mullan Lighting attends its first international trade show,
MAISON&OBJET, in Paris. Subsequent trade shows
in Germany, Stockholm and the United Kingdom help
establish the Mullan Lighting brand across Europe.
Mullan Lighting is established by Mike Treanor inside the
old mill building. At the same time the mill houses in the
village are faithfully restored and life is brought back to
Mullan once more.
A shoe factory is established in the old mill and Mullan
Village is once again a bustling rural center. The factory
employed over 80 people at its height and manufactured
the Mill Brand and the Border Brand footwear.
The shoe factory closes. The nearby border road also
closes due to The Troubles in Northern Ireland. The factory
would lie idle for the next 30 years. By 1990 most of the mill
cottages are abandoned and the village is all but deserted.
A flax mill, with its associated mill race and workers’
cottages, is developed on the site in Mullan village. The mill
remained operational until the early 20th century.
