The Protol Group began trading in 1994 as contract chemical manufactures, and has developed into the current company trading out of Widnes, Cheshire, UK, close to its original base in Speke, Liverpool. It is a privately owned company providing specialist chemical services, which can boast an impressive customer list that spans from large Plc manufacturing companies to small trading houses. The Company philosophy is to provide the broadest range possible of specialist chemical services to the market with complete confidentiality.

Protol is committed one hundred percent to contract chemical manufacturing and does not make products of its own or trade materials directly or indirectly into any market. In this way it avoids any competitive conflict with its customers and potential customers. Protol is unusual in that it provides capacity for contract processing of both powders and liquids which many contractors do not. As a result it can offer "one stop" facilities and avoid the need for multi-contractor use. Protol's chemical manufacturing facilities are located in the north west of England close to Merseyside and Liverpool, John Lennon Airport and the motorway network.
