Chemicals manufacturer The Friendly Chemical Co (FCC) has expanded into larger premises in Skipton.
The producer of branded and private label cleaning and personal care products - including the Miniml brand - says it is on course to generate £3m revenue in 2022.
It said the move provides space for further expansion as demand for FCC products continues to soar with major retailers including Booths, Holland & Barratt and The Vegan Kind.

FCC - established in Keighley by entrepreneurs Emma Tapper and Scott Rudd in 2017 - operates on a closed loop system, meaning empty packaging is collected from customers before being cleaned and refilled.
Customers can also access refill stations to top up their Miniml products, with FCC now supplying 2,000 zero waste and farm stores across the UK.
Emma Tapper, co-founder and director of The Friendly Chemical Co said: “The response to FCC has been incredible. It’s hard to believe that what started in our garage now required a complex production line in a 10,000 sq ft. warehouse.
"Consumers are very aware of the impact that their choices are having on the environment and are looking for ways to reduce this. At FCC, we provide a solution, with an ethos to leave the planet without a trace.
“To see major retailers, such as Booths, choose us to launch their first ever closed loop system is really encouraging. We need the big brands to get on board and facilitate widespread change. This move will enable us to continue fulfilling these large contracts and continue to disrupt this industry.”
