The 18 000 m2 site is used to store, package and distribute products, with a focus on minerals, solvents and specialty chemicals.
Following a fire that broke out in November 2009, damaging some of the facility’s storage tanks, Univar has embarked on an ambitious renovation plan to restore full functionality to the site and ensure the highest standards of safety.
Nicolas Lehmann, Univar’s regional vice president EMEA, South, said: “Safety has always been a top priority for Univar, both on and off-site; our customers, suppliers and staff expect the highest standards from us.
“The refurbished Blanquefort site is a clear demonstration of our commitment to safety and our willingness to invest in raising the bar for our industry.”
The Blanquefort site services customers in a number of industries including food and drink, swimming pools, coatings, potable water, metal cleaning and also nuclear power plants. It will be fully operational in early December.
