Univar Solutions Expands its Ingredient Portfolio

Univar Solutions B.V., a subsidiary of Univar Solutions LLC, announced a strategic move to enhance its portfolio by securing an exclusive distribution agreement with CABB Group. This partnership primarily focuses on the supply of glycolic acid in markets across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

The agreement marks a significant step forward in advancing ingredient accessibility and innovation across a variety of sectors, including beauty, personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning. Nick Powell, CEO of Ingredients + Specialties at Univar Solutions, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, emphasizing their shared commitment to performance and efficiency tailored to meet consumer demands.

Glycolic acid has established a reputable presence in cosmetic and skincare products, known for its effectiveness in exfoliation, skin renewal, cleansing, and hydration. Not only is it appreciated for its low toxicity and non-flammability, but it also does not contain any volatile organic compounds, making it an excellent choice for technical applications in housekeeping and industrial cleaning sectors.

Through this exclusive deal, two products, GLYCOS® Clear 70 and GLYTECH® Basic 70, will now be available, catering to an increasing need for diverse and versatile consumer products in the region. James Peterson, Vice President of Global CARE for Univar Solutions, noted that this collaboration enhances their ability to provide high-performance solutions, ensuring reliable supply and technical excellence that meets the demands of key markets.

Tobias Schalow, CEO of CABB Group, highlighted the potential for growth in the glycolic acid market across the EMEA region due to this partnership.
