What Inoxia Ltd does

Inoxia Ltd is a UK-based privately held e-commerce retailer operating from Unit 45.7 Dunsfold Park in Cranleigh (UK Company Number 05580128, VAT GB174612410), selling industrial, laboratory, and specialty materials direct to consumers and businesses through inoxia.co.uk. The company serves a horizontal mix of customers including industrial manufacturers, laboratories and research institutions, and hobbyists across home brewing, pyrotechnics, and crafts.

The product portfolio centers on three core lines: woven wire mesh in stainless steel (304/316/316L) and copper grades across 2–500 mesh counts; specialty chemicals spanning inorganic/organic compounds, metal powders, pigments, oxidisers, ceramics, and pure elements in pack sizes from 100g to 250kg; and ball milling equipment including jars, ceramic milling media, and pestle and mortars. Supplementary lines include cardboard tubes, laboratory supplies (plasticware, scales, PPE, storage, porcelain), custom stainless steel fabrications (Y filters, baskets, exhaust covers, brewery and pool filters, grills), UN/GHS hazard warning labels, stainless steel hardware, and PVC mesh edge trims. A custom cutting and remeshing service supports specialized sizing requirements.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model with pay-as-you-go unit pricing, tiered bulk discounts, and multiple shipping options (collection, economy, express). The primary market is the UK, with limited international shipping subject to product-level restrictions. Marketing is conducted via on-site SEO-optimized product pages with mesh selection guides and application guidance, plus organic social channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn). No management team, funding history, partnerships, awards, patents, or M&A activity are disclosed in the available data.

• Gerard Daniel Worldwide: US wire mesh and filtration media manufacturer/distributor offering woven mesh, fabricated parts, and engineered filtration. Directly comparable to Inoxia's wire mesh and custom stainless fabrication products, with overlapping filtration/screening customer use cases.
• Sefar Group: Global Swiss-headquartered manufacturer and distributor of precision woven wire mesh and filtration fabrics for industrial applications. Closely comparable to Inoxia on mesh products (filtration, sieving, RFI shielding) but operates as a mill/manufacturer rather than pure distributor.
• Belleville Wire Cloth: US specialist wire cloth and mesh fabricator serving filtration, screening, and shielding applications. Direct comparable to Inoxia's wire mesh and custom stainless fabrication offering, with similar niche positioning and custom manufacturing capability.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Business: B2B arm of Amazon distributing industrial, lab, and consumable supplies with marketplace scale and Prime logistics. Competes with Inoxia for SMB and hobbyist buyers of chemicals, lab supplies, and small-scale industrial items via price and convenience.
• McMaster-Carr: Dominant US-based industrial MRO supplies distributor with an enormous SKU range spanning wire mesh, chemicals, lab, and shop supplies. Comparable to Inoxia in product breadth and direct-to-customer e-commerce model, but at vastly greater scale and with US/NA focus.

Comparable to Inoxia's laboratory and chemicals category in product overlap and customer type (lab/research buyers), though at much larger scale and B2B focus.
• Sigma-Aldrich (MilliporeSigma): Global specialty chemicals and lab supplies brand within Merck KGaA, distributing inorganic compounds, organic compounds, metals, and reagents. Comparable to Inoxia's chemicals catalog at the product level, though oriented to research-scale B2B buyers rather than hobbyists.
• RS Components: UK-based broad-line industrial and electronics distributor with deep catalogue, multi-country shipping, and B2B e-commerce strength. Comparable to Inoxia in serving UK industrial buyers via direct e-commerce, but with vastly larger SKU breadth and brand recognition.

Regional players
