Founded in 1830 James Briggs Ltd. now employs approximately 250 people. With our history in the industrial revolution we produced specialist lubricants for the northern based spinning industry.

    It was in the 60’s that we recognised the need for speciality chemicals to be produced in aerosol form.

    Continual research and development led us to the forefront of aerosol technology and dramatic growth then took us to our seven-acre site in Oldham in 1987.

    As we continued to expand we acquired a second seven-acre site in Chadderton.

    Consistency and Quality has enabled us to form long lasting partnerships with our customers, building on our extensive knowledge and export success, enabling us to confidently expand consolidating our position of being the market leader in speciality chemicals and aerosols.
