National Silicates

Our roots are deep, tracing back to 1815, with Joseph Crosfield and Sons in Warrington, England, and 1831, with Joseph Elkinton and Sons in Philadelphia. Both entrepreneurs started with the manufacture of candles and soaps, beginning a two-century story of innovation.

Since then we’ve grown to 31 manufacturing facilities throughout the world, manned by over 1,500 employees and generating over $800m in revenue.
