Founded in 1921 by Ernest Bader, we have been harnessing the power of chemistry for over 100 years.
It all started in Finsbury Square, London, when Ernest began developing and selling Celluloids in all its shapes and forms, such as the small windmills proudly placed on children’s’ sandcastle masterpieces.
Soon, he pioneered the first low viscosity nitrocellulose in England, which reduced the time to paint a car from days to hours, with a harder, glossier and more resistant finish. Such fast growth led to the business being made a private limited company in 1923, as Scott Bader & Co Ltd.
In 1951, Scott Bader became one of the first employee-owned UK companies as the Bader family gifted their shares to the workforce.
Ever since, through an ethical mindset and chemical manufacturing excellence, Scott Bader has innovated the global chemical industry and now operates in every continent.
