Welcome to NEPIC

The North East of England Process Industry Cluster (NEPIC) is a stand-alone company, limited by guarantee, which was created and is owned by its member companies to represent the companies and supply chain of the Process Industry in the region.

Through a high level of engagement with its member companies and the credibility and support NEPIC receives from both public and private sector stakeholders, it has become a unified voice for the Process Industry in the North East England, where a substantial part of the UKs chemical, petrochemical, speciality chemical, pharmaceutical,  polymer, biotechnology  industries are based.

NEPIC, which is lead by senior industrialists, has a reputation for delivery of projects that enhance the sustainability of the Process Industry Sector. These projects are identified, developed and delivered through a series of Thrust Teams set up by the industry. 
These include:

Who recognise that through NEPIC they have been able to generate an internationally recognised cluster noted for its excellence in engagement, communication and level of support it delivers to its members.
