LimeX - British Sugar PLC

LimeX is a business division of British Sugar plc, a name synonymous with quality and professionalism in all its operations.

The business produces and markets the LimeX product range for the agricultural, brownfield development and built-environment sectors.
It has become the UK’s leading agricultural liming material for soil acidity management.

LimeX products are unique and derived from a co-product of beet sugar manufacturing which uses limestone as an essential component in the process.

The LimeX range is available across the UK directly from British Sugar's factories or through its authorised distributors.

LimeX products, developed by British Sugar, are the ultimate performers in the management of soil acidity.  
They are ideal for maintaining target pH in arable and grassland rotations and the restoration of brownfield sites. Continually developed over more than 70 years the LimeX range has become the most successful product of its type, achieving market leadership in the UK through its all-round combination of efficacy, consistent quality and value-for-money.

Achieving this status has been the result of a drive to produce the best. Within the last decade British Sugar has invested over £15 million in product development and has extended the availability of LimeX across the country.

‘As National LimeX Manager, I am committed to raising the awareness of the importance of liming in modern agricultural practise, which I believe is frequently overlooked in the drive for increased productivity. Our continued high investment across the business has proved highly successful in ensuring that LimeX is the best product available to meet customers’ requirements.’
