The PEEK pioneers

As the inventors of PEEK and pioneers of high-performance polymer solutions, Victrex traces its origins to ICI, where PEEK was first developed in 1978. Victrex was established in 1993 following a management buyout from ICI, listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1995 and is a constituent of the FTSE 250.
