Univar Solutions has opened its new custom-designed distribution facility in Abbotsford, B.C., which aligns with the company’s long-term sustainability commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
The facility was designed with the goal of offering energy-efficient technology and compliance through the latest emission standards as well as innovative logistic and storage strengths. Implementing best practices was a key focus throughout the planning and building of the facility, which included more efficient and expanded chemical and ingredient storage, rail capacity, a whole-site tank telemetry system for real-time product inventory and specially designed blending rooms for solvents, corrosives and oxidizers.
The site is strategically located near Univar Solutions’ facility in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. Together, the two sites will support more growth opportunities for suppliers in the region and enhance the quick and safe delivery of products to customers in western Canada, with a reduced carbon footprint.
