These two partners have had a successful existing partnership with Kalsec in Europe and Mexico, and this new agreement builds upon their long-standing partnership that makes distribution sustainable.

We are thrilled to further expand our partnership with Kalsec as they mirror our high standards of sustainability, social responsibility, innovation, and community engagement,”’ says Jorge Buckup, president of Latin America for Univar Solutions.

Kalsec has been in Colombia for a decade now and now seeks this distribution agreement to expand its reach to its target customers.

As we continually strive to enhance our support for customers in Latin America, we are pleased to be working with a market leader such as Univar Solutions,”  says Aaron Wheadon, senior vice president of global business development for Kalsec.
