Chemical distributor Univar has promoted David Jukes to president of its European operations. He replaces John van Osch who is leaving the company to pursue new opportunities.

David has spent much of his career in global distribution, and most recently served as Univar’s VP of sales and marketing for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

“David has tremendous international distribution experience and has demonstrated strong leadership during his time at Univar,” said John Zillmer, Univar’s president and chief executive. “Our European business is expanding rapidly, particularly in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. David’s global operating experience and entrepreneurial background are important strengths as we continue to integrate our existing operations and build capabilities in new markets.

“I would also like to thank John van Osch for his service to Univar. During his tenure, he drove our pan-European strategy of integrating our operations across 25 countries and establishing a Univar presence in the Middle East and Africa.”

David Jukes joined Univar in 2002 as chief executive of its Distrupol arm and subsequently served as regional director of Univar UK, Ireland and the Nordics.

Prior to joining Univar, he was senior VP of global sales, marketing and industry relations for Omnexus, a plastics industry consortium e-commerce platform based in Atlanta, USA.
