What Sonic Solutions does

Sonic Solutions Ltd is a UK-based industrial parts cleaning company that operates a multi-process cleaning platform under one roof, combining ultrasonic cleaning, pyrolysis/thermal stripping, aqueous jet washing, industrial/vapour blasting and XRF scanning to remove oil, grease, carbon deposits, polymers, coatings and other contaminants from precision and heavy industrial components. The company was founded in 2004 (some internal sources reference 2005) and is owned and led by Managing Director Andrew Taylor, who has reportedly run the business for the past 14 years; in early 2026 it relocated from Dewsbury to a new 8,800 sq ft facility in Huddersfield, nearly tripling its footprint.

The company serves enterprise and mid-market customers across aerospace, defence, oil & gas (including offshore/North Sea), automotive, plastics extrusion and recycling, superalloy recycling, and print/packaging, with a named customer base that includes Airbus, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, Babcock, BP, Shell, TechnipFMC, NOV, Jaguar Land Rover, BMW, Nissan, Berry Global and Johnson Matthey. Sonic Solutions is also the exclusive UK distributor for Action Laser Melt Filters and supplies a complementary range of ultrasonic cleaning chemicals. The business is sales-led and quote-based, with a free trial clean used as a primary lead-generation mechanism, a parts collection-and-return logistics model for enterprise accounts, and self-serve e-commerce for product sales.

Revenue is generated primarily from professional cleaning services (project/component-based pricing), supported by unit-priced hardware (melt filter screens) and consumables (cleaning chemicals). The company is privately held, ISO 9001:2015 certified, Cyber Essentials certified, JOSCAR-registered, and a member of BPF, RECOUP and PlastikCity. It currently employs 9 people with plans to add 6 more over the next three years, and turnover is reported to have doubled over the past three years.
