Univar has announced a further expansion to its European setup. Univar Czech s.r.o. has opened a branch in Bratislava, Slovakia, furthering its reach to and sourcing from emerging markets.

European Solutions, Delivered Locally
Univar’s subsidiary, Univar Czech s.r.o, has opened a branch in Bratislava, Slovakia. The country just recently adopted the Euro and is a growing market within the Central and Eastern European region. This is one of the major reasons why Univar plans to increase its business in the area.

‘Our highly specialised distribution business serving the food, personal care and other chemical sectors requires local dedicated sales and professional technical service. This reinforces our commitment beyond our own sites and into local communities and emerging markets,’ said Heinrich Klüwer, General Manager of Univar’s C&EE operations.

Univar has for several years been successfully operating local distribution companies in the C&EE region with industrial sites and local sales offices in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary.
