Specialty chemical distributor Palmer Holland announced its expansion into Mexico. The company reports that the expansion marks a significant step in its continued growth strategy and commitment to serving customers throughout all of North America. With a commitment to delivering high-performance solutions, technical expertise, and customer-focused service to a broader regional audience, Palmer Holland enters the market with the infrastructure, operational, and financial readiness, and long-term investment needed to support customers and suppliers.

“Our expansion into Mexico is a natural evolution of Palmer Holland’s North American growth strategy and reinforces our commitment to being a trusted partner throughout the region,” said Tim Skufca, CEO of Palmer Holland. “By investing in people and operational capabilities, we are positioning ourselves to provide faster response times, stronger technical support, and greater supply chain continuity for our customers and supplier partners across Mexico.”

Palmer Holland’s entry into Mexico is designed to create a strong operational foundation capable of supporting customers across all the industrial verticals the company serves. The organization has invested in the infrastructure, personnel, and legal framework required to operate effectively and responsibly within the region.

“Over the past two decades, we’ve adapted to the evolution of specialty chemicals sales channels from a regional approach to a nationwide U.S. model, and now to a continental one. Our expansion into Mexico highlights this progression,” said Ron Zmich, senior VP of Industrial Specialties. "While many competitors are scaling back their investments in the industrial sector, we are strengthening our commitment with ongoing investments in people and infrastructure, focusing on grassroots, hands-on organic sales growth in the end-use industrial markets we serve.”

Key elements of the expansion include:

• Establishment of a fully operational legal entity in Mexico
• Warehouse operations located in Querétaro to support regional logistics and inventory management
• Locally based account managers dedicated to serving customers and suppliers throughout the country
• Spanish-speaking operational personnel dedicated to serving customers and suppliers
• Support for all industrial business segments and product categories currently represented by Palmer Holland
• Local operational capabilities designed to improve responsiveness, communication, and supply chain continuity

These capabilities enable Palmer Holland to provide localized service and supply chain support while leveraging the strength of its North American supplier relationships, technical expertise, and distribution network.

In addition to strengthening its footprint, Palmer Holland’s investment in Mexico is expected to contribute meaningful value to the local industrial community through job creation, supply chain investment, and long-term commercial partnerships. The company’s presence in Querétaro adds infrastructure and resources that can support manufacturers, suppliers, and customers operating throughout the region.
