Our History

Quality and safety are at the very heart of Centriforce’s operations, underpinning all the products that we create.

Our Company

Our History

Since 1976, Centriforce has established a strong reputation for innovation in the UK plastic recycling and reprocessing industry.

Initially established as Chisholm Plastics LTD, our journey began in 1976 and has significantly evolved since then.
We transitioned from reprocessing recycled plastic to our current role: producing high quality recycled plastic products for damage prevention and maintenance across numerous sectors.
However, one constant has been our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint through ethical operations since our inception.
