Product/Service Name: Brenntag Canada Inc. Company: Brenntag Canada Inc. ; 681 Plinquet Street ; Ph: (204) 233-3416 A CENTURY OF PARTNERSHIP WITH CANADIAN INDUSTRY Brenntag Canada was incorporated in June 1897 as Standard Chemical Ltd. to exploit owner Arthur Peuchen’s discovery of a method to extract acetic acid, acetone and wood alcohol from scrap hardwood. Peuchen was one of the few survivors on the White Star Line’s doomed ship the RMS Titanic. Through its rich history, Brenntag Canada has changed ownership several times reflecting Arthur Peuchen’s instinct for survival. Over the years, several owners have been consumers of chemicals, including Domtar, one of the world’s leading producers of pulp and paper products, while others, including PPG and ICI, were chemical manufacturers. In 1990, Stanchem, as it became known, was acquired by Holland Chemical International. In 2000, Brenntag purchased Holland Chemical International to become the world’s largest chemical distributor in the world. Today we are an essential link between industrial chemical consumers and chemical manufacturers. Brenntag Canada offers supply chain management and logistics services to a wide range of major markets from coast to coast, in addition to providing a high level of product application and handling assistance. Some of the industries served include: Oil and Gas, Pulp and Paper, Water Care, Mining, Agriculture, Food and Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Personal Care, Coatings, Adhesives and Sealants. As a founding member of the CACD, Brenntag Canada actively participated in the development of the Responsible Distribution Code of Practice. Quality, safety and the environment are important to Brenntag Canada, as evidenced by becoming the first North America distributor to achieve ISO 9001/2 quality accreditation and the first Chemical distributor in the world accredited with ISO 14001.
