Company Profile

NK Chemicals Europe Ltd was originally set up as the sales and marketing arm of NK Chemicals Pte Ltd of Singapore, who operate the largest, most modern lanolin and lanolin derivatives facility in the world. This fully automated plant can process in excess of 8000 tones per annum of woolgrease, producing a wide range of high purity lanolins, derivatives  and cholesterol.

The Singapore manufacturing plant was originally established in 1987 as a joint venture between Yoshikawa Oil & Fat Co ltd of Japan and the Economics Development Board of Singapore. In 1994 the company was acquired by the Nam Kee Group,  a family owned Singaporean group of companies who changed the company name to NK Chemicals Pte Ltd. In late 1998 NK Chemicals Europe was formed, based in the United Kingdom, with the responsibility of promoting sales outside the Asia Pacific region. In 2002 NK Chemicals Europe Ltd moved to a new combined warehouse/office facility near Leeds and the following year started to distribute other products in the UK market. By 2004 the company had outgrown the Leeds facility and moved to a purpose built 16,600ft2 unit at Grange Moor, Wakefield. Today the company's main activity is still in the promotion of lanolin products throughout Europe, the Americas, Middle East and Africa but a strong distribution business to the UK personal care market has been built up alongside the lanolin activities. NK Chemicals Europe represent a number of important suppliers to the personal care market as listed in the "Products" section of the site.

In Asia NK Chemicals have expanded their  manufacturing capability with a new lanolin production facility in Nanjing, China, which started production during 2003. Mid 2004 NK Chemicals (Nanjing) Co Ltd  added a molecular distillation facility to the batch reactors for lanolin, extending the range of lanolins and derivatives which can be produced. The site is ideally placed to take advantage of the growing wool process business in China which generates our key raw material, woolgrease.
