Beyond conventional
‘Good enough’ has never been quite right for us at Technikraft. Instead, we challenge the status quo and aim to craft chemistry that’s designed to perform. Beyond conventional is a mindset we all possess and we have the confidence to think bolder, execute faster and craft better.
Crafting chemistry, powering brands
Whilst our work is rooted in chemistry, we know that our impact goes far beyond the lab. Scientific expertise is vital but it’s our tailored solutions that give our clients a real competitive edge. Whether you're a startup with a bold idea or an established manufacturer ready to scale up, we help turn concepts into powerful, market-ready products.
History
Technikraft was founded in 1987 by industrial chemists, Graham Walker and Malcolm Gibson. Their vision was to be agile and solution-focused in the chemicals market, bringing together their formulation expertise, technical know-how and capability to manufacture at pace and develop bespoke products for brands.
In 2003, we relocated to our current headquarters on Britannia Road in Goole, East Yorkshire, and expanded production capacity further with the addition of a second building in 2010. Then, in 2018, PHD Industrial Holdings invested in the business, enabling us to be confident in our chemical production facility, formulations and future.
Jump forwards to today, and Technikraft remains a trusted partner for brands in a range of sectors, including automotive, household and industrial cleaning, hand care and cycling. We have a well-deserved reputation for flexibility, accuracy, speed and sustainability and continue to go beyond conventional, crafting chemistry that powers innovation and brand growth.
