Huddersfield has a strong engineering and manufacturing base.

The chemical industry, including BASF operations in the area, relies on us for samples and technical documentation. The University of Huddersfield — one of the UK's leading modern universities — produces a steady flow of laboratory equipment and research materials requiring same day movement.
