Witton has been a chemical manufacturer for more than 50 years, working with some of the largest adhesive, electronic, paint, sealant, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
Chemical manufacturers are an important part of the UK’s economy. These companies are in the business of taking raw materials found naturally and making them into products for a variety of uses in the consumer and industrial markets. Such products include plastics, dyes, alcohols, gases, petrochemicals, hydrocarbon derivatives, and alkalis. Specialised chemical manufactures are adept at producing smaller quantities of substances for more specific applications such as adhesives, catalysts, paints, pesticides and additives for plastics.
The process of manufacturing chemicals is both capital and labour intensive. It takes a great deal of resources to make the chemicals on which all consumers rely on a daily basis. Lest we take for granted the impact of the industry, take a look at how chemical manufacturing plays a role in the health and vitality of the UK.
UK Chemical Manufacturing
The UK is considered to be the global leader in the chemical production industry, garnering 8.2% of the worldwide market. This industry accounts for over £55 billion in revenue annually and it continues to grow at a steady rate of five percent. Chemical manufacturers provide jobs for more than 214,000 people in the country.
A major reason that so many chemical manufacturing companies are located in the UK is the existence of strong support from the country’s government in the form of funding and tax credits for focused research and development.
Organic chemistry was first established in the UK 50 years earlier and the advancement of this science has contributed to modern solutions for a variety of industries. Clear and transparent regulations ensure that a manufacturer operates in a safe and environmentally conscious manner.
As home to the International Petroleum Exchange and the London Baltic Exchange centre for chemical shipments, the UK provides the ideal location for chemical manufacturing. The country’s numerous professional human resources ensure that there is no dearth of qualified workers in the industry. In fact, in terms of productivity, output, and innovation, the UK is perceived as the leader in chemical manufacture.
What Does That Mean to You?
For one thing, a chemical manufacturer in the UK is focused on utilising clean technology. Process development and manufacturing efficiency are paramount concerns, meaning that the products have added value. Because natural resources are located close to production facilities, the impact on the environment is minimal. Heavy industrial use is limited to only a few, specially designated sites in the country.
Many of the products consumers use in their everyday life contain polyethylene, bioethanol, polymers, sodium bicarbonate, paints, plastics, and other chemical substances. All of these are manufactured in the UK. It is important to support the local industries, and keep revenues close to home. These chemical manufacturers also provide numerous jobs and keep the economy strong.
Each chemical manufacturer is a vital part of the economy. Their work is important, and provides the basis for innumerable modern conveniences. Although you may not think about it, the importance of chemical manufacturing in the UK is indeed tremendous.
