UK based purifier of NVP (N-VINYL-2-PYRROLIDONE) seeks collaboration with silicone hydrogel contact lens manufacturers through a distribution, manufacturing agreement or joint venture

The business went through major restructuring over the following years and won several awards, the most coveted one being the IMechE business excellence award. In 2010 the company was sold to three members of the existing management team.

In 2019 a third facility was added to support the global demand for NVP. The new facility gives the company the capability of producing over 80 tons of NVP per annum.
