Founded in 1924 as J&G Hardie, Hardie Polymers, the Glasgow-based polymer supplier, celebrates its 100th anniversary.

During the 1960s and 70s, Cycolac ABS was one of the earliest engineering plastics available.
By the 90s, the business had evolved to be a major distributor of injection moulding machines (the equipment used to shape liquid plastic resin into manufactured plastic products).
The engineering polymers that Hardie supplies are essential for the manufacturing of indispensable products in a wide range of industries – enabling lighter, less carbon-intensive, and more sustainable products.
In 2021, Isy Ferguson, managing director, and Bartosz Komanski, commercial director, completed a management buyout, that was backed by the team at Nevis Capital LLP.
Ferguson said: “With our decades of industry experience, we’ve built many longstanding, collaborative, customer relationships, and we’re proud to have supported so many vital industries throughout the years, and to still be a critical part of the supply chain that brings lifesaving technology to the world.”
