Brenntag Latin America sets landmark for chemicals distribution in Brazil
New distribution center opened in Sao Paulo
Over an area of 15,000 square meters, "Guarulhos" has processing and storage areas of around 2,400 square meters, together with 67 new tank bases which were added to the existing infrastructure. The site has an annual handling volume of 40,000 tons of liquid chemicals and qualifies "Guarulhos" as the largest operating facility of Brenntag in Latin America. All aspects of the integrated Quality, Safety, Health & Environment issues, called CASA ("Calidad, Seguridad, Salud y Medio Ambiente"), are fully addressed and comply with local legislation and Brenntag standards. Benefiting from the natural sloping terrain, most of the tank truck discharges and chemical processing are accomplished by the use of gravity, avoiding extensive investments into pumps and electrical systems.
