Why Vuba Acquired the Company That Started It All

Founded in 1997, SureSet pioneered the resin bound surfacing industry in the
UK as we know it today.

For nearly three decades, SureSet has built an unrivalled reputation for
delivering one of the industry’s most proven, trusted, and time-tested resin
systems across both domestic and commercial projects. Their commitment to
excellence, innovation, and quality products has established them as the
number one choice for architects, developers, and local authorities across the
country.

The impact SureSet has had on the resin bound industry cannot be overstated.
Without the foundations they created, there would be no resin bound market
as we know it today. SureSet didn’t simply participate in the industry - they
created it, shaped it, and set the standard for everybody that followed. And in
peter Watts, founder of SureSet's own words ‘They started it and Vuba
developed it’.

That is exactly why Vuba Chemical Innovations made the decision to acquire
SureSet.

At Vuba we have been inspired by the foundations SureSet built, we felt there
was a responsibility to ensure such an important name in the industry was
given a long-term home where its achievements would be properly respected,
preserved, and built upon and the legacy can continue.

Much like Vuba, SureSet has always been built upon a commitment to
innovation, product quality, and raising standards across the industry. When
the opportunity arose to combine our collective knowledge , technology, and
passion for the sector, it became clear that this was the right step forward - not
just for our businesses, but for the future of resin bound surfacing itself.

We have immense respect for what Peter and the SureSet team have
achieved over the last 30 years, and we fully recognise the responsibility that
comes with becoming custodians of such an important brand within our
industry.

Our intention is not simply to preserve the SureSet name, but to continue the
legacy they created - investing in the brand, supporting its customers, and
ensuring the company that pioneered resin bound surfacing continues to
influence the future of the industry it helped establish.

We believe Vuba is the right brand for SureSet’s next chapter. SureSet defined
the original standards for resin bound surfacing more than 30 years ago,
creating the foundations of the industry. Since then, Vuba has expanded upon
those foundations, helping shape the standards, innovation, and progression
that define the industry today, while continuing to push it forward.

After meeting with the SureSet team, it became clear that our shared values,
industry passion, and long-term vision made this partnership a natural fit.

Sean Scott added:

“SureSet’s contribution to the resin bound industry is unparalleled. They laid
the foundations for an entire sector and inspired companies like ours to push
the industry forward. Acquiring SureSet is our way of recognising and
protecting that legacy, while making sure the company that started it all
continues to lead and inspire the future of the industry.”
