Univar Solutions LLC has acquired Interpur Chemicals, a leading distributor of polyurethanes and powder coatings in Europe.
The addition strengthens the Performance Materials business within Ingredients + Specialties from Univar Solutions, expanding technical capabilities and regional coverage across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
By combining Interpur Chemicals’ local market expertise with Univar Solutions’ supplier relationships and distribution network, customers will benefit from improved access to materials, stronger supply continuity, and greater support in addressing formulation and performance requirements.
“This acquisition marks an important milestone for our performance materials business as we respond to growing customer demand for the essential products that enable modern, high-performance applications,” said Matthew Oliver, senior vice president of Performance Materials for Univar Solutions. “By expanding our solutions and reach into high-demand markets and applications, we’re enhancing our ability to support customers where it matters most – at the formulation and application level.”
“We’re excited for this new chapter of our business with Univar Solutions, a company that shares similar values and a long-term, relationship-driven approach to the market,” said Óscar García, CEO of Interpur Chemicals. “This acquisition represents a meaningful next step for the CASE industry, combining technical credibility, strong supplier relationships, and trusted customer engagement to create an ideal platform for accelerating specialty product capabilities.”
