Profile
Eurocell plc, operating as Eurocell, is a British manufacturer and distributor of PVC products headquartered in the United Kingdom. The company serves markets across the UK with its PVC manufacturing and distribution operations. With over 2,000 current employees, it represents a significant employer in its sector. Its core business involves the production and supply of PVC materials, though specific product lines are not detailed in available information.
The organization has been the subject of significant cybersecurity incidents, most notably a major cyber attack in September 2022 that compromised sensitive employee data. This breach exposed personal and financial details of current and former staff, including bank accounts, national insurance numbers, health records, disciplinary documents, employment terms, and right to work documentation. The incident affected the company's substantial workforce, raising concerns about identity theft and fraud, with fears that stolen data could appear on the dark web. Legal inquiries followed the breach, highlighting the company's responsibilities in safeguarding sensitive information. While Eurocell acknowledged the breach and notified affected individuals, no evidence of data misuse was reported at the time. The event underscored the critical importance of data security in handling employee records within the manufacturing sector and positioned the company within discussions about corporate data protection obligations in the UK.
