A CENTURY OF PARTNERSHIP WITH CANADIAN INDUSTRY Brenntag Canada was incorporated in June 1897 as Standard Chemical Ltd. to exploit owner Arthur Peuchens discovery of a method to extract acetic acid, acetone and wood alcohol from scrap hardwood. Peuchen was one of the few survivors on the White Star Lines doomed ship the RMS Titanic. Through its rich history Brenntag Canada has changed ownership several times reflecting Arthur Peuchens instinct for survival and entrepreneur leadership. Over the years, several owners have been consumers of chemicals, including Domtar, one of the worlds leading producers of pulp and paper products, while others, including PPG and ICI, were chemical manufacturers. In 1990 Stanchem, as it became known, was acquired by Holland Chemical International, and ended up where it should be and is today, and in doing so has become an essential link between industrial chemical consumers and chemical manufacturers. With Brenntag's acquisition of Holland Chemical International in 2000, we became a member of the worlds largest chemical distribution company. Many of the key industry and specialty market areas which have been served in the Canadian marketplace over the years, include; INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS Proudly representing the worlds leading chemical producers, Brenntag Canada offers a broad range of chemicals and services to all markets coast to coast.
