The Stephenson Group, one of the world’s leading innovators and manufacturers of soap bases and natural ingredients for the personal care and cosmetics industry. Working with some of the biggest industry names and having won two queens awards to industry, our reputation for excellence throughout every stage of the process is exceptional.
From our dedicated, state of the art facility in Horsforth, West Yorkshire, we manage our R&D, manufacturing, sales/customer marketing and distribution services, ensuring complete control and continuity of our products and services.
Over the last four years, we have invested close to £2 million in improving our production methods and operating systems, including the installation of a large, automated reactor and the overhaul of our enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
A key driving force behind our year on year growth has been a focus on natural ingredients, to meet an ever-demanding market for healthy, natural, ethically made and chemical-free personal care products.
We pride ourselves on our strong connection with our customers and play an integral role in supporting their R&D and business development.
Operating in over 60 countries, we offer ingredients that can be enhanced by the customer, be it through the addition of fragrance, colour or other ingredients.
A supplier to well-known retailers such as The Body Shop and Holland & Barrett, our success has been built on a balancing act that deftly merges our core family values with the company’s position as an industry leader.
Here at Stephenson, we are proud of our heritage, but equally in our commitment to the future, through continued motivation, investment, team support and a culture to strive to do better. This means our team can work with our customers not just on solving their product challenges but in providing new market opportunities and solutions.
