History

Feralco (UK) Ltd was formed in January 2001 following the acquisition by Feralco AB of the Alcan and Rockwood (formely Laporte) water treatment chemical operations. The two UK-based businesses were merged to develop Feralco's activities in the UK.

Commitment to investment in its UK manufacturing base has reinforced the Group’s position as a leader in the market which is backed by a first class support team with a reputation for reliable and prompt customer service, technical expertise and efficient delivery.

The aluminium sulphate manufacturing facility in Glasgow (formerly R&J Garroway) was relocated to Grangemouth in 2002 and a new state-of-the-art aluminium sulphate plant was commissioned in Widnes in 2005. Combined capacity for the manufacture of aluminium sulphate solution is rated at 200,000 tonnes per year.
