Acquisition Information

On Sept. 17, 2018, Univar announced its intention to acquire Nexeo Solutions, creating a combined company to drive growth and shareholder value with North America’s largest sales force, broadest product offering, and most efficient supply chain network in the industry.

On Mar. 1, 2019, the acquisition was completed, forming Univar Solutions, a global partner to our customers and suppliers for the value-added distribution of chemicals, ingredients, and related services.
