Chemical Solutions Group Adds Resource Chemicals to Growing UK Portfolio
Irish water treatment specialist CSG acquires UK distributor Resource Chemicals, pushing group revenue past €100 million and advancing its strategy to build a full-service platform across Ireland and the UK.
Irish-owned chemical solutions provider Chemical Solutions Group (CSG) has acquired UK-based chemical distribution specialist Resource Chemicals, marking a further step in its long-term strategy to build a sustainable and meaningful presence in the UK market.
The acquisition forms part of CSG’s broader plan to develop a stronger, more capable UK platform through targeted investment and carefully selected acquisitions that enhance supply resilience, technical capability and customer service across essential industrial, water and environmental markets.
CSG has already invested in UK infrastructure through GI Chemical Solutions and its Immingham base, launching a bulk caustic distribution facility at the Port of Immingham in 2025.
In January of this year, the Group announced its intention to acquire Celtic Water Care Solutions Limited, a Cork-based wastewater and effluent treatment chemicals specialist serving private-sector customers across Ireland. The deal is pending merger control clearance by the Competition & Consumer Protection Commission. These recent transactions support CSG’s long-term growth strategy, bringing annualized Group revenue to more than €100M. CSG is targeting revenues in excess of €150M by 2030. This growth is underpinned by ongoing multi-million-euro investment at its sites in Shannon and Foynes.
CSG is the parent company of Chemifloc, GI Chemicals Ireland, GI Chemical Solutions UK and Chemilab. The Group currently employs 100 people and brings more than 40 years of specialist chemistry expertise across potable water, wastewater, environmental and hygiene applications, operating across Ireland and the UK.
