Brenntag has presented its plan for the renovation and expansion of its facilities in Nova Esperança, Paraná, Brazil. This site was taken over in 2019 with the company’s acquisition of Quimisa. Products handled at the facility include inorganic acids, caustics, liquid fertilizers, peroxides, and salts that serve the metalworking, agriculture, dairy, industrial cleaning, starch production, and coatings industries.
“With this investment, Brenntag will have greater geographical coverage in Brazil, mainly in the South, Midwest, and part of the Southeast region that is currently under the new Brazilian agricultural frontier,” said German Torres, regional president Brenntag Essentials Latin America. “In these regions, we will be able to provide a bulk service, be more agile in deliveries, and at a lower cost, in addition to expanding the production capacity of liquid fertilizers and adjuvants. This will allow us to serve and strengthen our position as suppliers on the growing agriculture market in this country.”
