In the early years of this century, the company became associated with Stokes Machine Co. of Philadelphia and started to produce tablet presses under the name of Manesty at the Liverpool factory. This venture was later sold and operates today as BWI Manesty, producing modern tablet presses.

In 1976 Thompson & Capper relocated to Runcorn in Cheshire to concentrate on the manufacture of tablets.

Since that date we have evolved into a major manufacturer of quality tablets and capsules to some of the best known companies and brands in the world.

Quality, commitment and excellence are the essence of Thompson & Capper.

In 1988, we obtained ISO9002 certification and, in 1998, following a major expansion and a purpose built factory for the manufacture of vitamins, minerals and supplements, the Medicines Control Agency granted us a full manufacturing licence.

In 1999, DCC plc, acquired Thompson & Capper Ltd., providing us with the financial support and focus to continue to grow our business in the new millennium. Eurocaps and Laleham Healthcare are also owned by DCC and thus the DCC Health & Beauty Solutions Group can now offer tablets, hardshell and softgel capsules, creams, liquids and packaging services.

Thompson & Capper can accurately claim to have been involved in the history of tablet making. Medicines, food stuffs and chemicals have formed the bulk of our work but our processes have also included such novelties as tea tablets and tablets used to inflate tennis balls!
