New R&D base for James Robinson

James Robinson Speciality Ingredients (JRSI) has launched a dedicated 186 m2 biotechnology R&D facility in Manchester. The Biotome division “will significantly extend the company’s research capabilities and production capacity, as it looks to explore more sustainable biotechnology ingredients”, JRSI said.

This follows a management buyout of the James Robinson heritage brand for the part making ingredients for the personal care and photochromics industries in 2019. The original firm had been based in Huddersfield since 1940, making ingredients for the hair colourant, cosmetics and ophthalmic industries until being acquired by India’s Vivimed Labs in 2008.
