Wilfrid Smith Limited supply raw materials and chemicals throughout the UK, Europe and beyond.
We deliver over 24,000 tonnes of product per year from multiple warehouses across the UK, in lot sizes ranging from 1kg up to 24 tonne FCL’s.
The group was founded by Wilfrid Smith in 1927 and started trading in central London. In the early nineteen sixties the offices moved to new premises in Edgware.
Originally, the company’s main activity centered around the rubber industry. The acquisition of Bromhead and Dennison in 1991 led to Wilfrid Smith’s activities expanding within the Surface Coatings, Inks and Adhesives markets.
In recent years Wilfrid Smith has expanded and become a strong supplier to a wide variety of other industry sectors including:
-
Personal Care
-
Plastics & Rubber
-
Coatings & Inks
-
Adhesives
-
Pharmaceutical
-
Water Treatment
-
Textile
-
Paper
-
Horticulture & Health Food.
The company is privately owned following a management buyout in 1996. It was relocated to Oakley Hay in Northamptonshire, from where the company still operates.
