ChemPoint, the specialist chemicals and ingredients distributor, has opened its new EMEA headquarters in Dublin to drive regional growth, and is already hiring.
A subsidiary of Univar Solutions, the global solutions provider of specialty ingredients and chemicals, ChemPoint Ireland will be headed up by general manager Dr Anna Wilson, and says it has already hired a number of employees in the greater Dublin area, with plans to add more.
“We’re thrilled to announce the opening of our new EMEA headquarters in Dublin, Ireland – the first step in executing our strategic growth plan within EMEA,” said Austin Nichols, ChemPoint president and CEO, who was in Ireland for the official launch of the HQ at the K Club in Kildare.

IDA Ireland CEO Michael Lohan said he was delighted to welcome ChemPoint to Ireland. “Ireland remains a strong location for companies looking to expand into Europe and this decision to locate in Dublin underscores Ireland’s attractiveness as a location for global solutions providers,” he said.
