Achimar is a long-established chemical distribution business, based in the central region of Italy. Primarily selling commodities, it services the pharmaceutical, food, detergent, water treatment, metal-working and electronics industries in Italy, and will be quickly able to benefit from the wider range of products offered by Univar already in Italy.

Its purpose-built facility is fully equipped to handle the repacking of solvents and inorganics, together with blending facilities and warehousing for food and pharma grade products as well as industrial chemicals.
