Esseco UK Limited is the current incarnation of a company that was originally founded in 1878 as Dyson Sons and Brotherton.

Its founder, Edward Brotherton, the eldest of six children from a Manchester family involved in the textile trade, was born in 1856. Esseco UK was initially formed as a joint venture company between Esseco Group Srl and Brotherton Speciality Products Limited in 2006. Brotherton Speciality Products Limited was subsequently acquired by Esseco Group Srl from Church & Dwight in 2008. The aquisition was made to both enhance Esseco’s position for the manufacture and supply of sulphites in the UK and Northern European markets and to add new additional products to the Esseco Group portfolio.
