Archibald Bathgate & Sons Ltd has a name change and is now known as Bathgate Silica Sand Ltd. The business grew and evolved and in 2007 moved its bagging operations from Congleton to the Arclid site. As the applications for silica sand grew, the business moved into new areas such as the equestrian and adhesive markets. By 2015, extraction levels reached their peak of 535,000 tonnes per annum and have since stabilised at 500,000 tonnes.
