Tetrosyl acquires Bartoline International
Tetrosyl Group, one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of car care products in Europe, has announced the acquisition of Hull-based Bartoline International Limited, which was completed on 24th January 2025.
Bartoline, first established in 1876, is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of decorating sundries for the home improvement industry. Products are manufactured and distributed extensively through retail, wholesale and trade outlets.
Peter Schofield, Tetrosyl Group Chairman, commented: “We are delighted to welcome the Bartoline’ business and the Bartoline’ team to the Tetrosyl family and are sure that the combined business will have great success in the future.
“Tetrosyl leads the way in brand management with a combination of innovation, technology and design and Bartoline has many years of manufacturing experience and expertise providing complimentary heritage brands to the Tetrosyl Group portfolio. The strategic fit is exceptional.”
The acquisition of Bartoline follows on from the acquisition in 2019 of Oldham-based James Briggs, one of Europe’s oldest and largest consumer chemicals businesses.
In 2023, Tetrosyl Group unveiled the establishment of Tetrosyl Ireland Limited, a dedicated distribution hub serving the Republic of Ireland. Its portfolio includes product lines such as T-Cut, CarPlan, Triplewax, Wonder Wheels, Carlube, Bluecol and Tetrion.
