Univar Inc.宣布其全资子公司Univar Brasil Ltda。收购了 Tagma Brasil Ltda.，这是一家为作物保护化学品提供定制配方和包装服务的领先供应商。
“Brazil has agriculture and agro-food exports of more than $89 billion and a domestic market that serves nearly 210 million people. This acquisition expands Univar’s agriculture business in one of the world’s fastest-growing agricultural markets,” said Steve Newlin, Univar’s chairman and chief executive officer. “In addition, Tagma’s formulation and packaging capabilities will enhance the value proposition for several of our key global supplier partners, and Tagma’s strong culture of safety, integrity and quality will be an excellent complement to Univar’s already robust agricultural business in North America.”
在巴西，Tagma 是作物保护化学品定制配方和包装服务的领先供应商，这些化学品包括除草剂、杀虫剂、杀菌剂和表面活性剂。 Tagma 配制了 200 多种注册作物保护产品，并提供新配方的构思和制备；调整现有的配方；处理和监管要求方面的技术援助。
“Joining Univar positions us well to be a more valuable, more relevant partner to existing and future global customers who are looking for supply chain solutions, and I am confident this will create opportunities and growth for our current employees,” stated José Carlos Leite, president of Tagma.
“Tagma allows us to more holistically serve customers in an agriculture market that is increasingly turning toward crop yield protection and biological add-ons,” added Mike Hildebrand, Univar’s president of Canada, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. “We welcome this opportunity to expand Univar Brasil’s formulation and packaging capacity, which will allow us to serve our customers with increased capabilities and provide our suppliers with expanded market reach.”
