DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — ChemPoint LLC (“ChemPoint”), a subsidiary of Univar Solutions LLC (“Univar Solutions” or “the Company”), a leading global solutions provider to users of specialty ingredients and chemicals, and PLZ Corp (“PLZ”) are pleased to announce their new partnership for the sales, marketing, and distribution of PLZ’s industry-leading food release agents and egg wash substitutes.

Austin Nichols, president of ChemPoint, expressed enthusiasm for the new partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to expand our supplier network to include PLZ Corp. This partnership will allow ChemPoint to penetrate the food release market and importantly, provide PLZ with the agility, expertise, and extended reach which can help improve market growth, service levels, and overall customer experience for their products.”

Par-Way Tryson Company, now part of the PLZ Corp family, is known for manufacturing a robust portfolio of food processing aids and ingredients. As part of the new agreement, ChemPoint will provide Vegalene® all-purpose food release agents, Bak-klene® bread and cake release agents, Par-Way® food processing agents, and Bake-Sheen® egg wash substitute.

Nick LeVasseur, senior national sales director at PLZ Corp, stated, “PLZ Corp, formerly Par-Way Tryson, is very excited about our partnership with ChemPoint. As our distribution partner for bulk/industrial ingredients, the vast network of the ChemPoint footprint will allow our industry-leading release and bakery solutions products to reach a wider audience. With the PLZ focus on manufacturing, ChemPoint will be able to handle the shipping portion into arenas that PLZ cannot always reach.”
