Chemical Solutions Group (CSG)<\/a>, an independent Irish chemicals company, has acquired UK-based Resource Chemicals, significantly expanding its presence and capabilities in the UK chemicals market.<\/p>\n

This acquisition brings more than 200 established customer relationships into CSG and adds new UK expertise to its operations, particularly in water, hygiene and environmental solutions \u2013 key growth areas for the group. With Resource Chemicals, CSG\u2019s continued growth will now see it generate annual revenue in excess of \u20ac100M across the group.<\/p>\n

Resource Chemicals is a well-established UK distributor with decades of experience serving diverse customers across multiple industries. Its capabilities span a wide range of products and pack sizes, and with CSG can prove a more complete offering that spans bulk supply, smaller-pack distribution and technical support.<\/p>\n

The deal comes at a time of increasing focus on resilience within supply chains across UK industries, particularly in essential sectors such as water and environmental services. The acquisition is the latest step in CSG\u2019s broader strategy to build a scaled, full-service chemicals platform in the UK. In 2025, the company expanded its infrastructure through its UK subsidiary, GI Chemicals, launching a bulk caustic distribution facility at the Port of Immingham.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving a reliable supply has become a critical issue for UK industry, and this acquisition is the latest milestone that we\u2019re reaching to build the scale and infrastructure needed to support our customers for the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kevin Quinn, CEO of CSG<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to continue growing our presence in the UK by combining Resource Chemicals\u2019 local expertise with our scale and capabilities. Customers will benefit from a stronger, more resilient partner and a business committed to long-term market development and competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting next chapter for Resource Chemicals. CSG shares our values, our customer focus and our commitment to quality and service. Becoming part of the Group gives us the scale and support to grow the business further, while maintaining the relationships and standards that our customers rely on. We\u2019re looking forward to working together to build on what we\u2019ve achieved and to play a key role in CSG\u2019s long-term UK strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicola Bradley, Managing Director of Resource Chemicals<\/p>\n

Continuity of service will remain a priority, and all employees, including the senior management team, will remain with the business. During the acquisition, CSG was advised by Pegasus Capital as lead advisor, with financial and tax support from PwC and legal counsel from Pinsent Masons LLP. Resource Chemicals was advised by IBI Corporate Finance, with PWC providing financial support and legal counsel provided by A&L Goodbody.<\/p>\n
