Essen-based Brenntag makes very little itself. It buys chemicals in bulk from producers such as BASF, stores, blends and repackages them, and delivers them to more than 190,000 customers, from food and cosmetics makers to water utilities and paint producers. Think of it as a wholesaler for chemistry.
Where you know it from
You almost never see Brenntag directly: it supplies makers of food, cosmetics and cleaning products behind the scenes.
