About us
Merlin Polyurethanes was established in 1995 by Steve Hurst and Phil Maxwell. After 10 years in the industry working for clients such as British Vita and ICI Polyurethanes, Steve teamed up with Phil when they worked together at TATRA plastics, both men had a good working relationship and eventually decided that the time was right to pool their expertise and set up on their own.
Over the last 25 years Merlin have expanded and now have a fantastic reputation for delivering quality products to their clients on time and within budget. Merlin’s products are used in a wide variety of products some of which you may own yourself without realising.
