Univar to distribute Dow ingredients in France and Benelux

Univar has distributed Dow's personal care ingredients across Europe for many years, continually expanding its product portfolio and geographical reach.

"The personal care sector is one of Univar's key global focus industries and this expansion of our partnership with Dow Personal Care is an important development for us,"​ says Nicolas Lehmann, vice president of marketing EMEA, Univar.

Building on solid relationship​

"Dow's innovative specialty personal care ingredients are a great fit within this product range and we are confident that they will be well-received by our customers."​

Univar will begin marketing and selling the full range of Dow's legacy Rohm and Haas personal care specialty ingredients in France and Benelux, including its hair styling polymers, rheology modifiers, SPF boosters, and water resistant polymers.

"We have a long-standing and successful relationship with Univar in many different territories. We value their commitment to our business as well as their sales and marketing expertise as we look to expand these important products into the French and Benelux personal care markets,"​ says Philippe Nastasi, regional business leader EMEA for Dow's Home & Personal Care division.

Technical knowledge​

"The technical knowledge of Univar's support team and on-the-ground presence provides a real benefit when it comes to promoting these specialties."​

Univar began to distribute Dow's legacy Rohm & Haas personal care portfolio in Italy, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, in addition to their existing Dow personal care activity, at the start of the year.

In addition, Univar began distribution of the legacy Dow Personal Care ingredients (formerly marketed by DOW's Amerchol business) in Portugal and Spain.
