We're dedicated to creating the sustainable technologies of the future, shaped around our customers’ needs. Using our knowledge of chemistry and its applications, we research, develop and innovate solutions to make the world cleaner and healthier.

Our central research and development (R&D) team provides the backbone of JM's core scientific capabilities. Working alongside customer-facing R&D specialists our teams develop cutting edge innovations to meet our customers' challenges. Collectively they deliver a balanced portfolio of short, medium and long-term research, giving us a sustained pipeline of new and enhanced products.

Innovation - the crucial ingredient of our success for over 200 years

In a world of change, our continued growth will come from our ability to turn scientific expertise and creative thinking into compelling new propositions that deliver real value for our customers and the world. For us, this is the definition of innovation.

JM is full of incredibly talented people with a real passion for science and commitment to innovation. The innovation chain includes understanding customer and market needs, investigating solutions through R&D, scaling up to manufacturing and then selling the products and solutions that have been developed. So all disciplines contribute in innovation. And we’re committed to creating an environment where these innovations can flourish. That’s as much about encouraging creativity and innovation within our business as it is about engaging with the world outside in a spirit of partnership and collaboration.
