Univar Inc., un proveedor de productos y servicios de protección de cultivos, semillas y nutrientes, anunció que su subsidiaria de propiedad absoluta, Univar Canada Ltd. ha adquirido los activos de Nexus Ag Business Inc.
Fundada en 1997, Nexus Ag es un distribuidor mayorista de fertilizantes para el mercado agrícola del oeste de Canadá y ofrece una amplia gama de productos, incluidos micronutrientes, fertilizantes especiales, potasa, fosfatos y nutrientes líquidos y solubles de los principales productores de América del Norte. La compañía opera desde seis ubicaciones de almacenes regionales y tiene su sede en Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
“As a recognized leader in the fertilizer business in Western Canada, the addition of Nexus Ag to the Univar family enhances our existing macronutrient and crop protection inputs by adding a proprietary line of micronutrients, macronutrients, and specialty fertilizers,” said Mike Hildebrand, President, Univar Canada, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. “This, together with our leading distribution and services network in the region, further strengthens Univar Agriculture’s ability to provide customers in Canada with a complete product and service offering that covers the entire growing cycle from start to finish.”
In October 2015, Univar acquired Future Transfer and BlueStar Distribution expanding its capabilities within the Canadian agriculture market with logistics, warehousing, packaging, and formulation services. With the addition of Nexus Ag, Univar Agriculture’s distribution network now includes 16 facilities in four provinces with more than 1.2 million square feet of Agrichemical Warehousing Standards Association warehouse space, the most in Canada.
