WWI Works were established in 1914 by Morton Sundour Fabrics at the initiative of James Morton, to produce synthetic dyes to make up for the loss of German imports. Production began within a few months at Carlisle.

1917 The company was separated from the parent company as Solway Dyes Co[1]

1919 The site at Grangemouth was acquired to accommodate the demand for the company's products, presumably the formation of Scottish Dyes Ltd
