Tata Chemicals Europe

Tata Chemicals Europe (formerly Brunner Mond (UK) Limited) is a UK-based chemicals company that is a subsidiary of Tata Chemicals, itself a part of the India-based Tata Group. Its principal products are soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, calcium chloride and associated alkaline chemicals.

Founded in 1873 by John Brunner and Ludwig Mond and incorporated in 1881, the business became the largest producer of soda ash in the world during the 1890s. In 1917, the company's trinitrotoluene (TNT) factory in Silvertown, London exploded due to a fire. During 1926, Brunner Mond was one of the four main companies – along with British Dyestuffs Corporation, Nobel's Explosives, and the United Alkali Company – that merged to create Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). During the early 1990s, ICI opted to separate and demerge some of its soda ash businesses as Brunner Mond Holdings Limited.

During 1997, it was floated on the London Stock Market before being promptly acquired by private equity firms. In early 2006, Brunner Mond was acquired by Tata Chemicals and adopted the Tata Chemicals Europe brand five years later. The firm acquired British Salt during December 2010 and opened the first industrial-scale carbon capture and usage plant in the UK in 2022. During 2024, it decided to transfer production of soda ash from its Lostock site to a new £60 million facility in Northwich.
