ABOUT BRUNNER MOND Company Profile ISO Quality Certificates Land Development Project Quarterly Magazine Company History Brunner Mond (UK) Ltd Brunner Mond Netherlands Magadi Soda Kenya Brunner Mond South Africa	The original Brunner Mond & Company was formed in 1873 when John Brunner and Ludwig Mond built Winnington Works at Northwich, Cheshire and produced their first soda ash in 1874. The company grew steadily over the next 50 years and in 1924 acquired the Magadi Soda Company of Kenya. In 1926 Brunner Mond merged with three other British chemical companies to form Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), a venture that grew to become one of the world's largest and most successful companies. In 2006 Tata Chemicals Limited - part of the Tata Group of India - acquired the Brunner Mond Group. Today the combined Brunner Mond/Magadi Soda/Tata Chemicals group is the third largest producer of soda ash in the world and the only one with manufacturing and supply chain capability on three continents through its plants in the UK, The Netherlands, Kenya and India. In 1991 Brunner Mond Holdings Limited was formed by the acquisition of the UK and Kenyan soda ash businesses from ICI and the heart of the original Brunner Mond was re-created as an independent company. In 1998 the company acquired the soda ash activities of Akzo Nobel in The Netherlands where Brunner Mond B.V. now forms a wholly owned subsidiary company of the Group.
