Croda Europe Ltd
Founded in 1925 by an entrepreneur, Mr Crowe, and a chemist, Mr Dawe, with the first manufacturing site in the North West of England, Croda have evolved into a global operation, creating, making and selling, speciality chemicals that deliver real benefits to a range of diverse products including health and beauty, engine lubricants, plastics and many more.
The business is split into three core market sectors: Personal Care, Life Sciences, made up of: Crop Care and Health Care and Performance Technologies, made up of: Coatings and Polymers, Geo Technologies, Home Care, Lubricants and Polymer Additives.
Since 2011, Access-Ability UK Ltd have provided a PAC Securenet access control system which is an essential part of the security infrastructure, as there are many potentially dangerous chemicals on site.
In 2014, the client wanted to establish a more efficient way of managing staff movements on and off site, so a turnstile was installed, again controlled from the Securenet system.
