Esseco UK was originally founded in 1878 and today still operates from its original site in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

From its earliest beginnings, Esseco UK has always specialised in the manufacture of ammonia salts. Over the years the product range has been broadened, whilst at the same time maintaining a key position in ammonia products. The Company is a major supplier to both the domestic and international markets.

Esseco UK has grown substantially over the last 20 years and progress will continue through investment in and development of its core skills and technologies.

Our current product range revolves around the use of several key raw materials including Sulphur Dioxide, Carbon Dioxide, Ammonia, Alkali Hydroxides and several key organic acids.

These key raw materials are used to produce a wide range of products which are supplied into a broad range of industries.

The Company places a strong emphasis on the quality of its products and services, of which adherence to the Corporate Policies and ISO 9001 is an integral part.


Esseco UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of Esseco Group based in Trecate, Italy.
