US Zinc Expands Relationship with Azelis Americas Canada

U.S. Zinc has announced the expansion of its relationship with Unipex Solutions Canada, an Azelis Americas company (formerly KODA Distribution Group). Effective February 18, 2016,  Azelis Americas will represent U.S. Zinc for zinc oxide and zinc dust across all of Canada.

“For more than 65 years, our main priority has always been providing our customers with the highest quality products and services,” explains U.S. Zinc President, Tracy Baugh. “Azelis Americas is our distribution partner of choice in Canada. Their experience in the market as well as knowledge of the local customer base is outstanding.  This expanded relationship will allow us to better serve clients both large and small as we continue to work closely with Azelis Americas into the future.”

The announcement comes less than two years after U.S. Zinc named Azelis Americas as their preferred distributor in the United States servicing the CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants and Elastomers) market.

“We are excited about this opportunity to represent U.S. Zinc in Canada,” adds Frank Bergonzi, CEO and President of Azelis Americas. “Our partnership with U.S. Zinc has been a true success story in the USA. We are very proud of our efforts and excited to do the same in Canada.   U.S. Zinc’s high quality products, coupled with our technical sales force, forms the perfect partnership.” Mr. Bergonzi concludes, “we are confident that combining the strength of 70 years of local experience in Canada in the rubber, plastic and the corrosion coatings markets, with the premier global leader in value added zinc products will create lasting value for our clients, and allow us to continue to grow together.”
