History
The company was founded by Robert McBride in Manchester to make chemical process products in 1927. It was acquired by BP in 1978.
In 1993, BP sold the business to a group of private equity investors, who floated the company on the London Stock Exchange in 1995.
In 2017, the business acquired Danlind a/s, a Danish-based auto dishwash and laundry powder manufacturer.
The company sold its personal care liquids division, operating in the UK and Belgium, to Royal Sanders Group in July 2018.
Operations
The Group is organized into five divisions: Liquids, Unit Dosing, Powders, Aerosols, and Asia-Pacific.
