The original Brunner Mond Company was formed as a partnership in 1873 (becoming a limited company in 1881) by John Brunner and Ludwig Mond. They built Winnington Works in Northwich, Cheshire and produced their first soda ash in 1874. Following many takeovers and mergers, including ICI, the company is a now a subsidiary of Tata Chemicals Limited, part of the Tata Group of India. (Information from Wikipedia).
