"We are already seeing a lot of activity here and there is a tremendous potential for many of our key business areas, including personal care, household and industrial cleaning, energy, food, pharmaceuticals and coatings." "In terms of distributors, the Egyptian market is very fragmented, characterised by a multitude of local companies and a small handful of regional players that may have a presence in one or two additional territories close by," explains Nick Powell, Univar's General Manager Middle East & Africa. "Univar is one of the first global chemical distributors with a real local presence here and we are looking forward to supporting both customers and suppliers in this fast-growing market." Univar's strong sales and marketing teams complement chemical producers and create value for customers. The company provides technical expertise in application development, excellence in logistics support, and outstanding customer service to help its partners grow their business.
