[Untitled][edit]

Hmm, sounds a bit like a PR job for the company here. I've added the bit about the explosion in Avonmouth, I believe they had one in Oldbury as well. {anonymous post}

Well I worked for them from 1970 to 1973 so perhaps I'm biased. They ceased to exist after about 2002, so its hardly PR that will provide them any commercial benefit.

Albright & Wilson virtually made every commercial phosphorus-based chemical going, they were also into chrome chemicals, detergents, metal finishing, food-hygenic products, match materials. So almost every chemical in that group described in wikipedia under chemistry could have a corresponding paragraph in the A&W article if someone puts it there. Much of wikipedia's chemistry is theoretical and does not cover commercial products. What I've added is public record, I'm not contributing anything that is unreferenced. It only covers the 19th Century, so far, so what you are seeing is a Paternalistic family-owned company.

If you wish to contribute more explosions then Portishead. After that could could start on pollution. Pyrotec 22:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why has the link and comment about the explosion been removed? It did actually happen.
