Univar Solutions and CABB Group Join Forces

Univar Solutions B.V., a subsidiary of Univar Solutions LLC, is taking significant steps to broaden its range of ingredients by signing an exclusive distribution agreement for glycolic acid in the EMEA region. This strategic collaboration, set to enhance the access to quality ingredients, is aimed primarily at fueling innovations within the beauty, personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors.

In a recent statement, Nick Powell, the CEO of the Ingredients + Specialties division at Univar Solutions, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. He highlighted the primary goal of improving efficiency and productivity for both clients and end consumers. This alliance not only bolsters Univar’s capabilities in delivering high-quality innovative ingredients but also aims to meet the increasing consumer demand for multi-functional products in the region.

Glycolic acid, a key ingredient in numerous cosmetic and skin care products, is renowned for its effectiveness in exfoliation, renewal, cleansing, and hydration. Its properties make it particularly suitable for household cleaning applications due to its low toxicity and non-flammable nature. The new distribution agreement encompasses glycolic acid solutions like GLYCOS® Clear 70 and GLYTECH® Basic 70, further diversifying Univar’s portfolio.

James Peterson, the Global Vice President of the CARE division (covering cosmetics and personal care), emphasized that this collaboration with CABB Group not only strengthens their commitment to delivering high-performance solutions but also ensures reliable supply and technical excellence. The combined offerings are tailored to foster innovation and growth within the industry, showcasing the versatility and efficiency of glycolic acid in modern skin care and personal hygiene procedures.

The CEO of CABB Group, Tobias Schalow, also acknowledged the partnership's potential. He stated that Univar’s market reach, deep technical knowledge, and commitment to customer service would significantly enhance the availability of CABB’s products. This exclusive alliance is expected to substantially expand the glycolic acid offerings in the EMEA market, positioning both companies to better serve their customers.

In addition to its focus on specialty chemicals, Univar Solutions is committed to investing in rapidly growing areas and expanding its ingredient offerings that empower customers to create competitive and effective products. The markets affected by this agreement include countries such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and several others throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.

This strategic partnership is part of Univar’s broader initiative to enhance the lives of individuals through innovative solutions focused on health, nutrition, personal care, and safety.
