Description

Established in 1924 by George Van Waters and Nat S. Rogers, Van Waters & Rogers (now Univar) began as a brokerage of sorts, buying and selling naval stores, paint, raw materials and cotton linters. In 1930, Van Waters & Rogers became Northwest sales agents for chemicals handled by Braun-Knecht-Heimann, a company they would acquire 20 years later.Originally a strong Northwest presence, Van Waters & Rogers grew throughout the West and eventually into the Eastern United States. A major change occurred in 1986 when Van Waters & Rogers acquired McKesson Chemical. This merger solidified Van Waters & Rogers' presence in the East and throughout the nation.In 1996, Van Waters & Rogers was acquired by Vopak Distribution Americas Corporation of the Netherlands. Univar Distribution Americas Corporation, now the world's largest chemical distributor, is also the world's leading supplier of logistics services to the oil and petrochemical industries, with a trading heritage that extends back to the early 17th century. In July of 2002, Vopak USA officially changed its name to Univar USA, keeping the same high level of products and service customers have come to expect and depend on through the years. Univar is the leading chemical distributor in the United States. Our wide distribution network, with over 70 Pro Centers coast-to-coast, helps guarantee fast, reliable service to Univar PP&S' customers. Visit our other websites: univarpps.com
