This book provides a history of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), a large Britain- based chemical firm which was a major industrial player in the twentieth century. Once a model for Britain’s industrial reach and dominance, ICI collapsed in the mid-2000s, with some still profitable elements sold off to other chemical firms. The book focuses on the firm’s origin site in the Northeast of England, around Middlesbrough, engaging the remnants of the company magazine, oral histories and social media posts, and material artifacts in the world, to relate a history of the social, environmental, cultural and imaginative and bodily impact of the presence (and then absence) of ICI. This unique work is open to coincidence and speculation, drawing on science fictional and urban myth narratives which emanate from the area. Through the lens of global narratives of industrial and philosophical innovation, it inquires into uncommon and diverse themes, such as the manufacture of Quorn, the place of photographic mediation of the factory, and industrial disease. Setting out from a context of heavy industry and material processing, the book seeks to stimulate poetic and creative thinking around the ways in which people’s lives were enmeshed with synthetic chemicals and the dreams that seemed to ooze and seep from them as by-products.

This thesis is the study of the largest chemical combine in Germany, IG Farbenindustrie AG (IG Farben) and the largest chemical company in the United Kingdom, Imperial Chemical Industries Limited (ICI) from their formation in 1925 and 1926 respectively to the advent of the successors to IG Farben in 1952/3. By examining each company's corporate structure from their origins, through the cartels of the 1930s and their respective war effort a direct comparison of the two companies can be made. The thesis draws primarily on the ICI company archives, the Bayerarchiv, Leverkusen and the Bundesarchiv, Koblenz. -- The thesis analyses the strategies adopted by each company in research, rearmament, war and post-war planning and assesses the role of governments on corporate structure and post-war stability. The formation of both companies is related to the growth of heavy chemical technology. A brief sketch of the early corporate structure of the two companies facilitates a closer look at the cartels of the 1930s. A detailed analysis of the effect of the depression on the chemical industry raises questions as to what extent rearmament and the prospect of war accelerated recovery. -- By analysing each company's strategy in their country's war effort, including specifically war production from 1936 and scientific and technological innovation, and by considering how far each company's production was based on government directives and pre-war notions of warfare, it demonstrates the long term implications of government investment in both IG Farben and ICI. This analysis facilitates a consideration of how government demands contributed to the collapse of the cartel system from 1939-1953, and the new corporate strategies adopted from 1945.
