Brenntag Company Description
When chemical companies all around the world need to move some product, they call on Brenntag. The company is Europe's largest chemical distributor (ahead of Univar) and among the top three in the US (along with the likes of Ashland); it also ranks as the top distributor in Latin America. From its 300 locations Brenntag offers lab services (blending, compounding, preparation), storage, and then full logistics activities. Brenntag had been a subsidiary of European logistics giant Stinnes until Bain Capital stepped in and bought the company in 2004. Bain Capital then sold Brenntag to European private equity group BC Partners for somewhere near $4 billion in 2006.
