James Briggs was founded in 1830 in the north of England.

We started manufacturing specialist chemical lubricants for the local textile industry.

It was during the 1970's that we recognised a need for speciality chemicals to also be produced in aerosols.

Continued research and development has led us to the forefront of aerosol technology and dramatic growth necessitated a move in 1987 to our seven acre site in Oldham, near Manchester.

As we continued to expand we acquired a second seven acre site nearby in Chadderton. We now employ approximately 220 permanent staff over both sites.

Consistency and Quality has enabled us to form long lasting partnerships with our customers, building on our extensive knowledge and export success, enabling us to confidently expand and consolidate our position of being the market leader in speciality chemicals and aerosols.
