From Aspar branded over-the-counter essentials to bespoke own-label solutions, we are a valued partner to some of the UK’s largest retailers and pharmaceutical wholesalers, delivering full-service manufacturing with integrity at every stage.
The business is created by Terry Prudhoe who began wholesaling toiletries and contract packaging and retailing paracetamol tablets.
Terry establishes the business in its first home in an industrial unit in Willesden, North London.
Aspar Pharmaceuticals expands into its first manufacturing premises in Colindale, North London to begin tablet and capsule manufacture.
Purchase of a second unit at the Colindale site for dedicated packaging and distribution facilities.
Aspar is awarded the accolade of Tesco Supermarket’s ‘Supplier of the Year’.
As the business continues to expand, plans are drawn up to move to a new purpose-built site in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
Following a £14m investment the St Albans site becomes operational.
As St Albans becomes fully operational the Colindale site ceases manufacture and the site closes.
Terry Prudhoe’s son Jonathan assumes the position as Managing Director.
The expansion of Aspar’s St Albans campus is completed.
Aspar has grown from a small family-run business into a nationally recognised pharmaceutical manufacturer. With dedicated pharmaceutical facilities and a team of skilled professionals, we operate with the same commitment and passion today as we did on day one: putting quality, safety, and people first.
Every product we make reflects our commitment to improving people’s lives and the long-term success of our partners.
