The chemical distributor Brenntag has signed a purchase agreement to acquire the distribution business of Blue Sky Environment (Blue Sky) headquartered in Brisbane, Australia.

Blue Sky is active as a distributor of AdBlue with a national storage and dispensing network across Australia.

The Australian AdBlue market is still at an early stage as the Euro 5 standard only became a requirement about two years ago and is expected to grow significantly in the next years. Furthermore the upgrade of truck fleets to AdBlue is expected to continue in the following years due to the implementation of the Euro 6 standard in Australia in 2014.
