Univar digs into Polish market
The company says that the MAPOL acquisition will provide it with a strategic platform for the expansion of Univar's food ingredient distribution business in the region under the Fiske brand.
MAPOL has been active for more than 10 years in Poland, serving the fruit & vegetables, brewing, food and detergent markets, and is an established leader in the distribution of enzymes. Univar already has an established distribution operation in industrial consumables, personal care products, chemicals and polymers through its Univar Poland Sp.z o.o. business, also headquartered in Warsaw. This operation was established via acquisition in 1999 and has provided Univar with the strategic basis to realise the growth potential the Eastern European markets offer.
