The company started life in the Ahir family kitchen in North London in late 1979. Premises were soon hired in Stoke Newington and the mother company, Makevale Ltd, was established in 1980 and specialised in dental products. Subsequent years saw the company expand rapidly in production and consequently relocated to its current site in 1986. This new facility allowed the company to expand its manufacture of not only premium quality dental polymers, but also medical and industrial polymers including biopolymers, interleavant polymers and cast acrylics.

In 1999 a facility was acquired in Blackpool to increase the polymer production capacity and extend existing Makevale product lines, merging the Adicryl™ range of products.

An extensive five-year modernisation programme of both sites has allowed the efficient manufacture of consistently superior quality products, at a high output capacity, for an extremely competitive market.

From 2000-2005, the owners actively grew interests in distribution companies PCM & St George. In 2006, Dr Val Ahir was joined by his son, Dr Samit Ahir (DocS).

In 2008, the company integrated many of its core functions and streamlined its business operations by deploying a dedicated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system running on SQL, much like SAP.

In 2007, as part of its strategic growth plan, the company decided to build an entirely new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in India to facilitate its growth and develop the Asian markets. The new factory & distribution node is planned to open in 2009.
