Scale up capabilities

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japan’s Central Glass Group, we can offer our customers the benefits of our group’s collective facilities and resources. These include custom synthesis capabilities in the UK, the US and Japan.

At our 3,000 sq. ft. UK space, we specialise in aromatic fluorochemistry, heterocyclic synthesis and organic intermediates/building blocks, while in the US, our 27,000 sq. ft. facility specialises in gases, fluorinated gases and aliphatic fluorochemistry, and as such, are extremely proficient in distillations. Facilities in Japan allow us to provide niche fluorination technology from research through to commercial scale, as well as cGMP production of commercial APIs and Intermediates.
