Evans Vanodine was established in 1919 in Salford by chemist, William Charles Evans, who initially specialised in developing and manufacturing soap and spraying essences, which were sold to cinemas, theatres and local industry in the North West of England. The company relocated to Eccles in the 1940's, where it became known as 'Evans of Eccles'. Over the coming years it consolidated its position in the market place manufacturing a wide range of industrial hygiene chemicals. A change of name to Evans Vanodine International followed, reflecting the growing importance of both its agricultural hygiene chemicals and the business being obtained from overseas. By the late 1970's, it was evident that the facilities at Eccles would be unable to meet the demands from both the home and export markets. A new factory was built and in March 1981 the company moved to Walton Summit, just outside Preston. The company has since taken over further factory units on the industrial estate so that now, nearly 90 years and 4 generations of the family after William Charles Evans founded the company, it operates from a modern 100,000 square foot factory on a 5 acre site at Walton Summit. |
Having successfully targeted two main areas for its business – hygiene chemicals for the cleaning industry and agricultural chemicals for livestock protection. Evans Vanodine International has a diverse product range that varies from hand cleansers and high performance floor polishes to veterinary disinfectants and teat dips.
Extensive research and development over many years have guaranteed that Evans products are amongst the best performers available. The continued investment ensures they have the facilities and experience to help create solutions to the ever-increasing demand of industry, agriculture and the environment.
This vast expertise was certainly a contributory factor in the Microbiology Laboratory being awarded a national accreditation (UKAS) for Disinfectant Testing, in May 1992.
The company is renowned for its strictly defined procedures within the Quality Control Laboratory and throughout the manufacturing process. This commitment to total quality management was recognised in February 1990, when the company was awarded British Standard 5750 Part 2, Certificate No. 09535, now known as ISO 9001.
Although Evans own brand named products are brightly packaged and popular with customers throughout the UK, Ireland, the Far East, Latin America and the Middle East, a large percentage of products are sold under ‘own label’ to companies in countries all over the world – which in itself is an indication of how other companies view Evans manufacturing standards.
Evans Vanodine operates under a management system which is accredited by British Standards Institution under the Environmental Management Standard BSEN14001. More details of our practices in relation to environment can be found here
Commitment to quality and service is deep rooted in the Evans family tradition and this, together with the expertise of dedicated staff throughout the company will ensure continued success for Evans Vanodine International and their customers, in the coming years.
