“This partnership will bring improvements to supply chain, e-commerce, technical applications support and other critical components that bring value to the overall customer experience,” said Pat Rogers, Cargill’s commercial leader, North America – Food Ingredients & Bio Industrial.

Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.-based Cargill provides food, agriculture, financial and industrial products and services. Downers Grove-based Univar is a global chemical and ingredient distributor.

“In a fragmented distribution network, expanding our business relationship with Cargill allows Univar to offer our customers an even broader selection of high-quality, innovative ingredients,” said Gerald Briand, Univar’s vice-president of focused industries. “This new agreement strengthens Univar’s position as a leading food ingredients provider and trusted adviser to food producers in a wide variety of categories.”
