Cornelius Group growth recognised

The growth of chemical distribution company Cornelius has been showcased in the inaugural Sunday Times HSBC International Track 200.

The Sunday Times International Track 200 ranks Britain’s private companies with the fastest growing international sales, measured over the latest two years of available accounts. Cornelius Group’s international sales grew 26 per cent a year from £5.3 million (€6.6m) in 2010 to £8.5 million (€10.7m) in 2012.

Founded in 1935, Cornelius distributes industrial chemicals to a broad range of industries, including the food industry, and has offices in France, Poland, China and India.

“The Cornelius business model and how we service the expectations of our customers and suppliers seems to be a real differentiator in our target export markets and is really facilitating our growth,” explains managing director David Brown (pictured). “We intend to continue broadening our global coverage while continuing to grow and diversify in our domestic markets of the UK and Ireland.”
