Welcome to Pentagon Chemical Specialties

Pentagon Chemical Specialties Limited was re-established as an independent, privately-owned UK based company following the management buy-out from Dow Chemicals in May 2002.

Pentagon now owns a second manufacturing site at Halebank, Widnes, UK, acquired from Great Lakes Fine Chemicals in December 2003.

Please note that the Pentagon Fine Chemicals website is still under construction, being updated to include details on our capabilities in Phosgenation, Sodium Dispersion, Bromination, and Chlorination. You can visit the current site at www.pentagonfinechemicals.com.

Both Pentagon sites have been financed with the assistance of Vision Capital Group, a London based investment company. Importantly, both the MBO and the recent Halebank acquisition were funded without the use of venture capital funds, offering our customers long term stability of ownership.

Pentagon has been manufacturing at its Workington, UK site since 1975. During this period it has been part of the Suter plc and Ascot plc groups which also encompassed the former Chemoxy International and Mitchell Cotts businesses which remained with Dow following the MBO.

The company manufactures a range of speciality and fine chemicals for an array of industry uses on a contract, custom or toll manufacture basis and is also a worldwide exporter of its own range of products through its local agent network.

Pentagon has a proud track record in introducing new techniques to solve complex chemical and chemical engineering problems. Flexibility together with speed of response and professionalism are essential ingredients for our continued growth and success.

Strict confidentiality and protection of commercial and technical interests are of paramount importance to our customers and we can demonstrate both integrity and reputation in this area.

If you are seeking a specific compound, wish to scale up a reaction, develop a process or simply need to review the options, we are here to help you to deliver a quality product and service.
