Brenntag Opens New Chemical Distribution Facility in Indonesia

Brenntag, the global leader in full-line chemical distribution, unveiled its new distribution facility in Jakarta built to meet growing market demand. The facility will provide a bigger storage capacity than the current warehouse in Jakarta, and allow Brenntag to improve and expand value-added customer support throughout the supply chain, from purchase and formulation through to packaging and logistics.

In Indonesia, Brenntag markets a diversified line of specialty and industrial chemicals for a variety of applications, including personal care, coatings, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, textile, rubber, plastics & polymers, agro, feed, refrigeration, polyurethanes and minerals. The new facility adds to the company's 7 existing warehouses in Indonesia and Brenntag's growing distribution network in the Asia Pacific region which also includes more than 40 distribution centers.

At the inauguration of the new site, Steven Holland, COO of Brenntag, said, "We've seen a growth in the demand for chemical distribution in the Asia Pacific region, especially in Indonesia. By expanding our local presence, we are making an investment to better serve our customers with advanced support and meet growing market demand; it will also strengthen our presence in the region."
