Univar Solutions LLC

Univar Solutions LLC is a global distributor of chemicals and ingredients, providing value-added services to a diverse range of industries. Headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois, U.S., the company's mission is to redefine distribution and be the most valued chemical and ingredient distributor globally, serving as a committed ally to its customers and suppliers.

The company offers an extensive portfolio of specialty and commodity chemicals and ingredients, including acids, oleochemicals, oxides, silicates, solvents, polymers, and resins. Beyond product distribution, Univar Solutions provides comprehensive services such as formulation and product development, analytical services, custom blending, packaging, private label services, supply chain management, and specialized waste management through its ChemCare services. These offerings cater to market segments including food ingredients, beauty and personal care, pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, industrial solutions, and energy.

In August 2023, Univar Solutions transitioned from a publicly traded entity to a privately held company following its acquisition by funds managed by Apollo Global Management, Inc., with a minority investment from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. The company continues to expand its market reach and product offerings through strategic partnerships and acquisitions, recently including distribution agreements for collagen ingredients with Genu-in (April 2026) and cellulose ethers with Ashland (January 2026), and the acquisition of Valley Solvents & Chemicals (February 2024).
