As one of the most established and important industries in the world, ceramics have become an essential part of everyday life yet are almost taken for granted. The demand for ceramic products and ceramic technology is increasing globally with fierce competition between ceramic suppliers of all industry sectors.

For over a half a century, we have been at the very heart of the ceramic industries, whether traditional ceramics such as tableware and sanitaryware, or advanced technical ceramics such as those used in renewable energy systems, biomedical or aerospace. Since our earliest days, our reputation has been founded on the integration of industrially experienced personnel and academic research specialists. Our expertise is available to help businesses improve their competitiveness, by maximising the effectiveness and efficiency of their existing processes, improving the performance of their products, and developing new facilities through to research into new techniques, materials and methods for production. Complementing this is our in-house UKAS Accredited test laboratory.

From the design and validation of new products, facilities development through to international trading advice, we are positioned to help your business whether you are a start up company or an international plc.
