Brenntag announced the acquisition of an additional facility, focused on water treatment solutions, in South Africa. Brenntag will operate the facility in Pomona, enabling water treatment customers in the region to benefit from expanded blending and storage capacities. Brenntag will also integrate the current employees into the Brenntag Specialties water treatment team to better serve suppliers and customers in the region, improving its capabilities in the South Africa operations.

“We are very excited to be expanding our presence in South Africa with this new facility,” said Henri Nejade, COO of Brenntag Specialties. ”Water treatment, especially the technical knowledge our team gains and can pass on to customers, in particular on cooling and boiler water solutions, is a great expansion of our EMEA portfolio. We believe that these additional resources will allow us to better support our customers and drive additional business in the region.”
