Timeline 1899 Procter Johnson was founded in Salford, Manchester The company began as chemical merchants selling a variety of drysaltery items. Extended oxide & pigments were later produced for the local paint companies. 1920 Company moved to Ardwick, Manchester Started to supply natural oxides to the precast concrete industry. Also sold various extenders into the paint industry such as barytes, blanc fixe & calcium carbonate. 1935 New premises in Clayton, Manchester During the Second World War, camouflage pigments were manufactured for the government. 1955 Proctorial Brand Cement Colours introduced Supplying major concrete precast manufacturers such as Forticrete of Liverpool. Later in the 1960's Marshalls of Halifax became one of the largest customers taking as estimated 400 tons of Proctorial Cement Colour. 1975 Export Markets Explored The first sales overseas were to Libya & Syria and over the next 15 years, new customers were found in places like Central & South America, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Philippines and even in smaller markets like Mauritius. 1984 Procter Johnson moved to Flint, North Wales Due to expansion, the business was moved to a much larger site in North Wales. This is still the current location today. 1990 Liquid Pigments manufactured at Flint The company introduced a range of liquid pigments for concrete and in addition manufactured carbon black pigments for Harrisons & Crosfield, which later became Elementis Pigments. 1994 Accredited to BS5750 This later became ISO9001, which our quality management system complies to today. 1995 Procter Johnson exhibits at Bauma, Germany This was the first time the company exhibited at the world's largest construction fair. 1999 100 Years of Procter Johnson The business has changed a lot in 100 years and the construction industry is very much the focus now. 2000 Masterbatch Pigments for Asphalt The turn of the millennium saw Procter Johnson introduce a polymer based pigment for the asphalt industry. 2001 Direct shipments from China We made our first direct shipment from Shanghai to a customer in South Africa. 2004 Installation of Mix Aco equipment Although blending capacity wasn't an issue, it was becoming more apparent that we needed to be able to produce smaller batches of different colours quickly.
