The English city of Cambridge has long been recognised world-wide as a centre for innovation and scientific endeavour, so it was the natural place for ROMIL, the independent manufacturer of premium quality laboratory chemicals, to set up its new headquarters in 1993. The company chose to name its new base The Source because in the same way that a river is at its purest at the source, so it should be for chemical reagents.
The company, which employs around 30 people, has an ambitious and well-advanced plan to become the leader in the production and supply of high purity reagents.
Steady and sustained annual growth has brought the company into the top three of UK companies in its field with an estimated 20% market share. Exports are a significant contributor to turnover, an achievement recognised by the prestigious Queens Award for Export.
ROMIL has almost 20 year's of experience in manufacturing and supplying high purity solvents, acids and reagents to countless analytical scientists and molecular biologists. During that time the issue of quality in the analytical laboratory has emerged as the common thread that runs through all types of chemical measurement.
