Univar Solutions Buys Interpur Chemicals to Expand EMEA Reach
Univar Solutions acquires Interpur Chemicals, strengthening its polyurethane and powder coatings portfolio across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Univar Solutions has acquired Interpur Chemicals in a strategic move designed to deepen the company's footprint in the polyurethane and powder coatings markets across the EMEA region, the company announced. The deal positions Univar to better serve industrial customers who rely on specialty chemicals for coatings and performance materials applications.
The acquisition brings a broader product selection to Univar's existing EMEA lineup, according to the company. Customers in the coatings and performance materials sectors stand to gain access to an expanded catalog of raw materials that had previously required sourcing from separate suppliers, potentially simplifying procurement workflows.

By integrating Interpur's sourcing relationships and regional logistics capabilities, Univar aims to reduce lead-time volatility for customers operating in markets where consistent material availability is critical to production continuity.
