June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Univar
Solutions, LLC (Univar Solutions" or "the Company"), a leading
global solutions provider to users of specialty ingredients and

commitments embedded throughout, our ability to deliver products
more quickly and safely when and where they are needed will offer
strategic efficiencies for our suppliers and customers."
Abbotsford aligns with the
Company's long-term sustainability commitment to achieve net-zero
emissions by 2050. The facility was designed with the goal of
offering energy-efficient technology and compliance through the
latest emission standards as well as innovative logistic and
storage strengths. Implementing best practices was a key focus
throughout the planning and building of the facility, which
included more efficient and expanded chemical and ingredient
storage, rail capacity, a whole-site tank telemetry system for
real-time product inventory, and specially designed blending rooms
for solvents, corrosives, and oxidizers.
