Brothers Stephen and Michael Klinge start a chemical distribution business together in London called Klinge Chemicals Ltd.

1979

Rather than buying and selling chemicals, Stephen and Michael decide to concentrate their energies on being the best in the market at manufacturing a single product – high quality potassium chloride for the pharmaceutical and food markets. Scotland’s first ‘New Town’ – East Kilbride – is decided on as the location for the manufacturing plant.
