Croda :: World leaders in Speciality Chemicals

You won’t find our name in the High Street. Croda products are sold mainly to industry, forming part of other people’s products. They help to make them work, to make them successful, to become the ‘household names’ that play such an important part in all our lives.

Croda has been supplying naturally derived speciality chemicals to a wide range of industries for over 80 years. The acquisition of Uniqema in 2006 and its successful integration into the group has consolidated Croda’s position as one of the world’s most successful and most innovative speciality chemical companies. Today, Croda has sales, technical and manufacturing facilities throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Far East and annual sales of over £900 million.

Our business is broadly split into specialities and oleochemicals. For information relating to former Uniqema products, this can be found on the Uniqema website.


Specialities are sold under the Croda name, mainly to our core markets: personal care, health care, polymer additives and home care. We also supply functional specialities to a wide range of other industrial markets including crop protection, oilfield chemicals, textile auxiliaries and lubricants.
