The global alignment of Univar Solutions and Shandong Head Group focuses on sustainability, quality, and innovation in advancing pharmaceutical formulations with high quality excipients in drug delivery systems DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. and ZIBO CITY, China, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Univar Solutions LLC ('Univar Solutions' or 'the Company'), a leading global solutions provider to users of specialty ingredients and chemicals, alongside Shandong Head Group Co., Ltd., the world's leading producer of cellulose ethers, today jointly announced a strategic agreement to broaden their existing specialty ingredient distribution partnership into select European pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets. This expansion leverages the strengths of both Univar Solutions and SD Head USA's recent North American partnership, which has been instrumental in serving the nuanced needs of the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries more effectively.
