Atom Scientific has significantly expanded its operations at East Tame Business Park in Hyde, Greater Manchester, acquiring extra warehouse space to integrate recent acquisition Breckland Scientific into the business.
The firm has added 17,303 sq. ft, bringing the total footprint to 51,622 sq. ft, creating additional space for Breckland Scientific stock and an expanding distribution team. This expansion is a direct response to the significant growth over recent years and reflects Atom’s commitment to scaling operations to meet rising customer demand. The additional space will allow Atom to hold more stock on site, improve order processing efficiency, and streamline logistics.
Atom Scientific is an independent chemical manufacturing and distribution business that can offer customers a personalised and responsive service, rapid product delivery, backed up with exceptional technical support.
Ranges include: chemicals, solvents, IVDR diagnostic reagents, pH calibration buffers (traceable to NIST), volumetric solutions, buffer tablets & solutions and high purity solvents. Alongside its core chemical products, Atom Scientific offers a comprehensive range of laboratory consumables and small laboratory equipment.
The investment strengthens operational capacity as they integrate Breckland Scientific into the Atom family, following the recent acquisition. In June 2025, Atom Scientific acquired Breckland Scientific Ltd from Phil Tomlinson. Breckland is a well-established supplier in the education sector, recognised for its strong reputation in providing chemicals and laboratory equipment.
Peter Keenan, Commercial Director, added: "We are really pleased about this new acquisition and looking forward to supporting Phil and the team in becoming a leading brand in the education sector. This acquisition marks a significant step in Atom's growth, strengthening our ability to support science technicians across the UK."
