Devine Chemicals, specialty chemicals manufacturer and global distributor, has reportedly doubled the size of its head office and opened a Research and Innovation Center in Lancashire, England, to bolster its technical and development capabilities. The company has invested heavily in machinery, testing equipment and a new IT system. This facility will reportedly enable its team of technical specialists to drive innovation and push the boundaries through formulating and testing coatings and cementitious systems for its customers.

In addition, the company has acquired a second premises next to its head office in County Durham, North East England which has doubled its warehousing and production capacity. These new premises, along with its European office and warehouse facility in Heerhugowaard, Holland, forms an instrumental part of strengthening Devine Chemicals’ infrastructure and resources to its U.K. and EU customers. 

With more than 30 years’ industry experience, Devine Chemicals designs and manufacturers its own portfolio of premium quality products in the UK. This includes DeCAL, a range of specialty additives; DeTOX, a range of titanium dioxide pigments; and DeLOUR, a range of water-based and solvent-based pigments. In 2022, the company launched AptiCem, its building and construction division which offers its clients a wide range of specialty chemicals including lithium carbonate alternatives, admixtures, dry mortar additives and screed additives.

Dan Devine, commercial director at Devine Chemicals, said, “Over the past 12 months, we have been on an exciting journey of growth and development, and it is fantastic to see all the hard work come to fruition. The new Research and Innovation Center will enable us to continuously evolve our product portfolio and stay at the forefront of our industries. Furthermore, it provides us with the facilities and technology to collaborate with our customers, run trials and develop products to meet their specific requirements.”
