Treatt was originally established in the year 1886 when its founder, Richard Court Treatt, began trading in essential oils on Bond Street in London. Over the subsequent decades, the business expanded its commercial import operations, transitioning into a limited company in 1913 and eventually securing a public listing on the London Stock Exchange in 1989. Throughout its long operational history spanning more than 130 years, the company has evolved from a traditional essential oils trading house into a sophisticated, publicly traded global ingredient solutions innovator serving international markets.
