ChemPoint.com is an "e-distributor" of chemical products and services, with a focus on specialty and fine chemicals. Founded in May of 1999, we are a "sub dot-com" - an e-business built by combining the best principals and approaches from the "dot-com" world with the industry knowledge and capabilities of the traditional chemical distribution industry - fully funded by our parent company, Univar N.V. (Rotterdam, The Netherlands). Univar www.univarcorp.com is the largest independent chemical distributor in the world, with a diverse product offering to service all major industry sectors. Univar provides a number of related services to its customers such as blending, inventory management, technical support, packaging and labeling. 7,000 employees strong, Univar operates a global network of 195 distribution centers across the United States, Canada and 14 European countries.

Our e-business model is designed to complement and build upon the strengths of traditional chemical distribution - making the specialty chemical sourcing experience faster, easier, and less costly - while retaining the customer service and personal touch. At ChemPoint.com we focus our resources on our core business - managing and maximizing relationships with both our customers and suppliers. All other functions, including logistics, information technology, financials and shared services are outsourced - utilizing the Internet - to "best-in-class" firms. This approach makes our business processes more efficient and cost-effective - and allows us to focus fully on our customers..
