Univar Solutions has sold Distrupol to GPD Companies
US-based multinational distributor Univar Solutions has agreed to sell its Distrupol subsidiary to GPD Companies, an affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners.
Headquartered in Chertsey, UK, Distrupol is a leading European distributor of thermoplastic polymers and elastomers, serving more than 1,300 customers across 13 countries. Its product range is certified and approved in industries such as automotive, medical, food and electrical. The company operates warehouses in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands.
Formerly known as Nexeo Plastics, GPD was formed as a holding company by One Rock following its acquisition by an affiliate of the New York-based investment group in March 2019. That was the same month that Univar closed its purchase of Nexeo Plastics’ parent, Nexeo Solutions.
Distrupol will join GPD’s group once the transaction closes. However, it will continue to operate as a standalone, independent entity under its current brand, led by the existing management and commercial teams.
Rothschild & Co advised on the sale of this transaction. For further detail please contact Graham Carberry.
