Celebrating One Year of Growth and Innovation: John Hogg & Avocet

Last week marked a special milestone for John Hogg: one year since we welcomed Avocet Dye and Chemical Company Limited into the JH family. On this anniversary, we’re proud to reflect on the journey so far and celebrate the progress we’ve made together.

When we acquired Avocet in October 2024, our goal was clear – to strengthen our Speciality Dyes and Chemicals portfolio and expand our reach into the textiles industry. Avocet brought with it a rich legacy of innovation, sustainability, and customer excellence, along with its renowned CETAFLAM® brand. Over the past year, these strengths have become an integral part of our operations, helping us deliver even greater value to our customers.

By adding Avocet’s talented people and expertise to an already strong John Hogg team, we’ve built an even more capable, trustworthy, and forward-thinking organisation – one that works collaboratively, takes responsibility, and keeps our customers at the heart of everything we do.

The integration has been marked by exceptional teamwork. Together, we’ve broadened our product offering, enhanced service delivery, and continued to invest in the future of speciality chemicals. The synergy between John Hogg and Avocet has enriched our technical capabilities and reinforced our shared commitment to quality and performance.

Philip Double, CEO of John Hogg Technical Solutions, reflected:

“Welcoming Avocet into the John Hogg family was a pivotal moment in our growth strategy. One year on, we’re seeing the real impact of that decision—stronger innovation, deeper customer relationships, and a more dynamic product portfolio. We’re excited about what the future holds.”

As we look ahead, we remain focused on delivering high-quality solutions to our global customers, driving sustainable innovation, and building on the solid foundation we’ve established over the past year.

To everyone at Avocet and John Hogg—thank you for your dedication, collaboration, and passion. Here’s to the next chapter of growth and success!
