The Alliance for Chemical Distribution announced the winners of its annual awards, which include the Distributor of the Year Award, Affiliate of the Year Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, and Employee of the Year Award.

The results are broadly in line with expectations. The business of Brenntag Specialties was again affected by negative volume developments and price pressure. 

The product lines are used in applications for industrial and architectural coatings, sealants, adhesives, inks and construction products.

Brenntag has been providing customers with comprehensive product carbon footprint (PCF) data since December 2022.

Reflecting diversification and promise of the chemical distribution industry, NACD announced its new logo, tagline, and name, Alliance for Chemical Distribution, at its 2023 Annual Meeting last week.

The business units will be integrated into Brenntag Essentials’ existing network in North America, expanding its local and regional footprint.

The group said this new position will focus on overseeing the company’s expansion in the Asia Pacific region, with particular emphasis on China and India.

This collaboration brings Hexigone’s ion-exchange corrosion inhibitors to the Chilean coatings industry.

In her testimony, Gibson highlighted the chemical distribution industry’s use of drums and underscored the highest standards of safety that NACD members place on the transport of these used and reconditioned containers.

Svensk Kompositteknik AB will serve as Belzona’s sole distributor for Sweden going forward.
