Anglian Chemicals

What Anglian Chemicals does

Anglian Chemicals Ltd. is a UK-based, privately held manufacturer and distributor of cleaning, hygiene, and disinfectant chemicals headquartered in Fakenham, Norfolk. Operating as a private limited company for over 30 years with 51–100 employees, the firm serves a broad cross-section of end-markets including industrial, healthcare, janitorial, hospitality, automotive, and leisure customers across the UK and parts of Europe. ISO 9001 certification underpins its manufacturing quality framework, and the business combines in-house production with direct e-commerce distribution across more than 1,000 janitorial SKUs.

The core product portfolio centres on the proprietary DOSY super-concentrated dosing range, which delivers approximately 100 metered doses per one-litre bottle at a unit cost of roughly 11p per dose. Compliance-validated offerings include the BS EN-compliant WipeOut Super Concentrated Ultimate Disinfectant and Rapide, a 24-day anti-microbial sanitiser, alongside bespoke chemical manufacturing, washroom service provision, and an own-label contract manufacturing line. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the firm prioritised NHS and first-responder demand and launched the RHLD-01 terminal fogging sanitiser as a dedicated pandemic-response product.

The commercial model blends branded distribution, own-label and bespoke contract manufacturing, and direct-to-customer web sales, monetised through per-bottle / per-dose pricing, contract manufacturing fees, and washroom service contracts. The firm has not raised external funding rounds per available records, and revenue is generated primarily through transactional B2B and B2C channels with some institutional healthcare exposure.
