Record for the ICIS
Top 100 Chemical
Distributors
This year’s listing features a record 231 entries,
along with separate tables of geographic leaders
JOSEPH CHANG NEW YORK
We strive to bring you information beyond
the Top 100 distributors in terms of sales, gathering all we can to give a broader picture of the
sector and its diverse capabilities.
We could not fully engage in this global effort without the great help and support of the
major trade organisations – US-based National
Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD),
the European Association of Chemical Distributors (Fecc), Associquim (Brazilian Association of Chemical and Petrochemical Dis-
T
he annual presentation of the ICIS
Top 100 Chemical Distributors listing
is long awaited and much analysed
by buyers and sellers in the global
chemical industry.
Chemical distributors are a critical link in
the supply chain, and the breadth and variety
of product lines, capabilities and geographic
reach are absolutely stunning.
tributors), the Canadian Association of
Chemical Distributors (CACD), and UK-based
Chemical Business Association (CBA).
We thank the associations and their memberships for making such a comprehensive listing possible,
and for the commitment to
the safety and security of operations for their employees,
communities and supply
chains.
The breadth and variety of
product lines, capabilities
and geographic reach are
absolutely stunning
This year we have a record 231 entries – up
from 213 in the previous year. The vast majority of the companies are privately held, so we
work directly with them to secure information
and data. In separate tables we also break out
leaders by sales in the key geographic regions
of North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. ■
