Thomas Swan
Founded in 1926 Thomas Swan & Co. Ltd. is on the the UK's leading performance and speciality chemical manufacturers. The company is independently owned by the current chairman, Tom Swan, who is also the grandson of the founder. The company is divided into 4 key product areas: Performance Chemicals; Inks, Paints and Plastics; Carbon Nanomaterials and Super Critical Fluids. Thomas Swan has a history of working closely with universities to develop unique and forward thinking opportunities which ultimately led to the company being identified as "one of the World's Top 20 Innovators" in 2001.
In April 2004, following over 4 years of collaboration with the University of Cambridge, Thomas Swan launched a carbon nanomaterial business dedicated to the production of high-purity single and multiwall carbon nanotubes. The company is currently capable of manufacturing over 6 kg of purified single-wall carbon nanotubes per month using a specialised CVD reactor. Thomas Swan is now looking to develop the industrial applications market through strategic collaborations.
