Black Cat Fireworks – A Legacy Brand Since 1929
Black Cat is one of the oldest and most recognised firework brands in the world. Established in 1929, the name has been a household staple for generations. In the 1990s Black Cat acquired Standard Fireworks, another heritage British brand, consolidating their position in the UK market. Around the turn of the millennium they were among the first to introduce single ignition cakes to the consumer market – a format that has since become the backbone of modern garden firework displays.
