Sil-Mid

Single Source Chemical Supply from Sil-Mid

If, like Andy Green, you are about to power across the Jordanian desert at around 800 mph, aerodynamic smoothing compounds, adhesives and lubricants will not be front of mind.

If they are, either you are solely missing out on the most exhilarating experience of your life - or you must be David Nickson, Sales Director, technical boffin and speed enthusiast at Sil-Mid Limited!

Luckily/unluckily for Richard Noble, it is highly unlikely that David will ever take to the wheel of ThrustSSC! He was last seen planning an export sales trip to India, tucked away in his office at Sil-Mid's headquarters in Birmingham, England.

So, what is Sil-Mid?

Established in 1980 with a current annual turnover of over £3.5 million, Sil-Mid is one of the largest single-source chemical distributors in Europe. A specialist supplier to the aerospace and engineering industries, the company carries over 1800 'standard' product lines with sourcing capability for many more.

Sil-Mid's success has been based on its high quality service, rapid order response and delivery and outstanding technical advice. Plus, of course, the people themselves aren't bad at all!

What does Sil-Mid supply?

Situated on the doorstep of Birmingham Airport, Sil-Mid's location provides David Nickson with the prfect export opportunity. That sales trip to India though, David - it doesn't have a stopover in Jordan, does it?
