Univar Solutions has expanded its partnership with SI Group, broadening the distribution of specialty additives for plastics and adhesives across select markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

 

The agreement, signed through the Ingredients + Specialties division of Univar Solutions, covers a wide portfolio of SI Group products including antioxidants, stabilizers, UV light stabilizers, impact modifiers and other additives used in plastics and rubber manufacturing.

 

"Our partnership with SI Group continues to evolve in exciting ways," said Matthew Oliver, global senior vice president of Performance Materials for Univar Solutions. 

 

"Expanding access to SI Group's rubber and plastic additive technologies in EMEA strengthens our ability to deliver the high-quality performance materials that customers need to improve processing efficiency, thermal stability, product longevity, protection, and overall product durability. This expansion also supports our strategy to provide an even broader range of specialty solutions for polymer, additive, and plastics manufacturers."

 

The expanded agreement aims to improve access to advanced performance materials for manufacturers, combining SI Group’s additive technologies with Univar Solutions’ global distribution network and technical support capabilities.

 

The companies say the deeper collaboration will help plastics and rubber producers enhance durability, processing efficiency and sustainability, while accelerating innovation in next-generation polymer, antioxidant and stabilizer technologies.

 

"In collaboration with the Ingredients + Specialties team from Univar Solutions, we're focused on delivering high-performance rubber and plastics solutions to customers in Türkiye, as well as advanced plastics solutions in Iberia," said Paul Tilley, senior vice president of sales and business development at SI Group. 

 

"This agreement strengthens our ability to develop and commercialize a wide range of specialty products in a growing market alongside a trusted partner with deep expertise in performance materials."

 

Customers will also benefit from Univar Solutions’ network of Solution Centers, including its regional flagship in Essen, Germany, where teams develop formulations and technical solutions designed to meet evolving industry performance standards and regulatory requirements.

 

Through the expanded partnership, both companies aim to accelerate innovation and deliver new specialty solutions for polymer, plastics and rubber manufacturers across the region.
