Established in the early 2000s, this North East-based company specialises in the development, manufacture and distribution of industrial finishing products, catering to a diverse range of industries – from wood finishing, leather finishing and water treatment through to filmmaking and aviation.
The company’s suite of available products and services includes leather finishing chemicals, polyurethane dispersions (PUDs), acrylic emulsions, acrylic solutions, automotive aftercare, pigment dispersions, non-standard colours, surface coatings, toll manufacturing, and coatings.
The company benefits from its own purpose-built 10,500 sq ft manufacturing, storage and office facilities at its factory in North East England which is owned by the major shareholder. This is supported by a further 19,000 sq ft at an adjacent storage facility.
The target company possesses a strong global reach, with 20-30% of its revenue generated through exports. This international success is attributable to their focus on high-quality, bespoke products delivered at competitive price points alongside honest, reliable customer service. As a result, they have established a broad network of clients spanning diverse geographic regions including Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the United States.
In recent years, the company has pursued a strategy of diversification by: focusing increasingly on the UK’s non-leather segment and the paper/wood coating industry; focusing increasingly on strategically important international markets; and introducing a toll manufacturing service.
