Brenntag Canada Inc.

Description

Over the years, several owners have been consumers of chemicals, including Domtar, one of the world’s leading producers of pulp and paper products, while others, including PPG and ICI, were chemical manufacturers. In 1990, Stanchem, as it became known, was acquired by Holland Chemical International. In 2000, Brenntag purchased Holland Chemical International to become the world’s largest chemical distributor in the world. Today we are an essential link between industrial chemical consumers and chemical manufacturers.

In addition, we have been providing technology and products to the Canadian oil and gas sector for over 50 years.

“We have been exporting to Nigeria for over 30 years and now expand our local business. For us Nigeria is a key market in the region. With this new entity, which we established closely working together with our subsidiary the Multisol Group, focused on high value fuel and lubricant additives, we want to improve our services to customers and suppliers in the region also by offering warehouse services locally. By establishing this legal entity we will also improve our service capabilities to the lubricants additives market”, says Karsten Beckmann, CEO Brenntag Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Brenntag, the global market leader in chemical distribution, covers all major markets with its extensive product and service portfolio. Headquartered in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, the company operates a global network with more than 480 locations in more than 70 countries. In 2013, the company, which has a global workforce of more than 13,000, generated sales of EUR 9.8 billion (USD 13.0 billion). Brenntag connects chemical manufacturers and chemical users. The company supports its customers and suppliers with tailor-made distribution solutions for industrial and specialty chemicals.

In 1996, HCI Canada began a series of acquisitions. The company acquired a colour concentrates production facility to complement the resin and plastics distribution business. The following year, HCI Canada purchased Travis Chemicals an oil & gas supply business based in Alberta, which significantly increased its share of this important market. More recently in 1998, HCI Canada purchased a chlorine packaging facility located in Cornwall, Ontario from Pioneer Chemicals.
