Univar expands with office opening in Greece

The chemicals distributor Univar Inc. has expanded its operations in Greece with the opening of a new office in Athens. The company has been exporting products to Greece for over ten years from its UK and French operations. According to Univar, the growth in customer base and expanding product portfolio warranted a transition to a fully-functioning operation on the ground, culminating in last month’s office opening.

Markos Roussos is Managing Director of the new office with a remit to further expand business in the region. Roussos joined the company from Tesa Tape, a manufacturer of adhesives and coating technology, where he worked for seven years, most recently as Sales Manager.

In Greece, Univar's product range focuses on Personal Care, Household & Industrial Cleaning, Pharmaceuticals and Coatings, distributed from warehouse premises near Athens. The new office will enable one-to-one customer service and better support with formulations and product applications, says the company. Univar is representing many of its long-standing supplier partners in Greece and has already established a solid customer base, comprising local and international companies of all sizes in several key markets.
