Brenntag, the global market leader in chemicals and ingredients distribution, announced the acquisition of Monarch Group Holdings and its operating subsidiary Monarch Chemicals in the United Kingdom.

Russel Argo, regional president Brenntag Essentials EMEA a.i., comments, “The team at Monarch have built a great product and service offering for their broad customer and supply partner base, and we look forward to growing and expanding that offering together. Brenntag gains expertise, infrastructure, as well as expanded liquid and powder blending capabilities with this transaction. With our acquisition strategy, we expand our last mile service operations to bring a broader portfolio of products and value-added services to customers, supported by our regional supply chain services within our global network. With this extended offering, all our customers in the UK can benefit going forward.”

Established in 1989, Monarch offers professional and reliable distribution services for essential chemicals and blends throughout the UK, supplying a wide range of industry sectors and product groups, such as Inorganic Chemicals, Citrates and Glycols. The company operates several sites and blending facilities in the UK. In 2023, the Group reported annual sales of GBP 35.1 million.

“We take great pride in the level of service and support we can offer our supply partners and customers,” comments Jon Hill, managing director of Monarch. “Our independence made us flexible, but joining Brenntag, a truly global distributor, will give us the scale and network we can use to grow our business and better serve our customers with a wider range of products and services.”

Financial details of the deal are not being disclosed. Signing and closing of the transaction occurred simultaneously.
