Timeline

1974

Aquaspersions is established

Aquaspersions was formed in Halifax, where our international HQ remains today. Since our formation we’ve been leading the way with the formulation and manufacture of high quality, water-based dispersions for the polymer, latex, adhesives and paints industries.

1992

Expansion into Malaysia

We established Aquaspersions Malaysia to expand our activities in the region, although within just a few years a facility was needed to supply the wider Asia Pacific region, with a specific focus on the rapidly growing rubber gloves market.

2003

A new Kuala Lumpur facility

We moved into a new purpose-built facility 30 miles north Kuala Lumpur, close to transport networks and the sea port of Port Klang. Strategically, the new manufacturing plant and increased production capacity gives us ease of access to the local glove and rubber industries.

2018

Expansion at our Halifax HQ

Growing demand and increased sales led to the addition of new warehousing space at our Halifax site, freeing up space for further investment in 2019 with a 25% increase in production and manufacturing capacity. Both these key investments further boosted our reputation as a leading innovator and manufacturer of aqueous dispersions and emulsions.

2021

Acquisition by CBPE Capital

CBPE Capital acquires Aquaspersions from its founding family shareholders.

The management buyout was led by our CEO Dr Alan Bewsher with the business continuing to operate from its Halifax HQ base in the UK and Kuala Lumpur.

2023

Manufacturing in North America

Following a $7.5m investment in a new production facility in Broussard, Louisiana. We started manufacturing in North America,

The strategic purpose of this new plant is to supply critical components to the nitrile glove industry, thereby establishing for us a key supply base in the US.
