Dow Europe GmbH (“Dow”) and Univar Products International NV (“Univar”) have announced plans to market and distribute the Dow range of specialty surfactants to European customers.

The products will be available from the local Univar entities and centrally managed by Univar Products International.

The extensive market knowledge and logistical strength of this partnership with Univar NV will have many benefits for Dow Surfactants customers and potential users. Customers will have enhanced access to technical developments and regulatory information, supply security, responsive commercial and technical contacts, irrespective of where they are.
