about us
On August 8, 1924, Nat Rogers and George Van Waters filed incorporation papers to
start a chemical distribution company. They had a single truck.
In the years that passed, Univar expanded steadily. We exceeded expectations, and
remained totally focused on serving the needs of our customers, suppliers, and
employees. More than 90 years later, we’ve grown into an industry leader with a
worldwide reputation—but we’ve never lost sight of those priorities.
We remain completely dedicated to our customers. We share our knowledge to help
them grow their businesses, and provide the products they need to meet any challenge
that comes their way.
To our suppliers, we are a global partner. Our scale, geographic reach, and logistical
expertise enable us to develop and maintain strong, lasting relationships that benefit
the industry as a whole.
And to our employees, we are tireless supporters—fully committed to fostering their
personal and professional development, their health and safety, and their happiness.
At Univar, we take care of our people.
