Asda Stores Ltd is a UK-based supermarket and general merchandise retailer headquartered in Leeds. Founded in 1965, it operates large-format superstores, supermarkets, convenience outlets (Asda Express), and an online grocery platform. Asda also runs an extensive network of fuel forecourts and offers the George clothing brand. In 2021, a majority stake was acquired by TDR Capital and the Issa brothers; Walmart retained a minority shareholding.
For the chemicals value chain, Asda is a major purchaser and distributor of household and personal care products, automotive fuels, and related consumables, as well as a significant user of packaging materials across its private-label and branded ranges. The company’s scale and logistics footprint make it an important downstream customer for chemical producers and packaging suppliers, and a stakeholder in UK initiatives around plastics reduction, recycling, and sustainable sourcing.
