Honest John History
Established in 1968, the Tanist Bonding Company operated out of an office in Hope Street, Glasgow. With strong Italian-Scots links, the company exported its brands during the 1970s and ‘80s to the Italian market. Honest John was one of them.
The Tanist Bonding Company brands ceased towards the end of the 1980s and the company was eventually dissolved in 1992.
