We are aligning our legal entity structure with our organisational structure. This means parts of our business will operate under a new legal entity, while others will continue as they are.

You will continue to purchase from Univar Solutions Chemical Distribution & Services, but you will require a new vendor/supplier setup for each country you purchase from in the Nordics.

We expect your current Univar Solutions contacts to remain the same. However, if any changes are needed as part of the transition, we will let you know in advance and confirm the appropriate contact details.

Please complete the required setup before 1 November 2026. From this date, purchase orders can only be processed when issued to the relevant country-specific legal entity. If the required vendor records are not in place before this date, there may be delays to order placement and fulfilment.

Please use the legal entity information provided in the customer communication letter to create a new Univar Solutions vendor/supplier record for each Nordic country that you buy from. You may need to share the information with your purchasing team, finance team, master data team, vendor management team, and any other internal teams involved in vendor setup, order placement, invoice matching or payments.

Where purchase orders were previously issued to Univar Solutions B.V. and the relevant products have not yet been delivered, or delivery is scheduled after 1 November 2026, the order may need to be transferred to the applicable legal entity.

Yes. The appropriate legal entity will invoice you for any shipments made after 1 November 2026, even if the original purchase order was placed with Univar Solutions B.V. This means you may need to re-issue, update, or align purchase orders against the relevant legal entity to avoid discrepancies when matching and paying invoices.

The new legal entities will retain the appropriate certifications, licences and permits required to ensure continuity of activities. We are working with the relevant certification bodies and competent authorities to update registrations to reflect the new legal entities before the changes take effect on 1 November 2026. Updated certifications, licences, permits and registrations will be shared as soon as they are available.

This communication relates to changes in the Nordics. Similar changes are expected in the UK, France and Belgium from 1 February 2027. If you also buy from these countries, separate communications will follow regarding changes in those regions.

If you both buy from and supply Univar Solutions, we will provide the relevant guidance for each relationship separately, so you know what action, if any, is needed.

There is no change other than the contractual relationship will be transferred to the entity operating in the country where you purchase products.

Your account manager will liaise with you to address the transfer of the existing written sales agreement to the relevant entity(es) in the Nordics pursuant to the terms and conditions of such agreement.

If you have any questions about these changes, please contact your Univar Solutions Account Manager. They will help you understand what action is needed and can escalate any specific contractual, finance, or setup questions as required.
