Comprehensive guide to chemicals and chemical suppliers in Europe
UN/ECE publishes 3-volume Directory of Chemical Producers and
Products
One of the most widely used
publications of the Chemical Industry Programme of the United Nations Economic Commission
for Europe (UN/ECE) is the Directory of Chemical Producers and Products. This year
the UN/ECE, in cooperation with Hamlet Information Services Ltd. of the UK, has produced a
three-volume, 1,500 page exhaustive listing of over 40,000 chemicals - including
generic, common and trade names - with extensive cross-referencing and CAS and EINECS
indexes. The extended geographic coverage of the new Directory of Chemicals and
Suppliers in Europe ranges from Iceland to Kyrgyzstan, including some forty countries.
Earlier editions of this work covered just the Mediterranean and eastern and central
Europe, listing a limited number of suppliers.
Special attention has been paid to the
countries in transition in eastern and central Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent
States, where both merchants and producers are listed with up-to-date contact data.
Western European data are also very complete, and virtually any chemical or chemical
product available in Europe can be identified and a supplier found.
The UN/ECE aims to assist countries in
transition in accessing markets around the world. Enterprise development is one of the key
aims of the UN/ECE, and this project aids the development of chemical firms in transition
countries, particularly in the eastern part of the UN/ECE region. The Directory informs potential clients of the existence and capabilities of supplier companies in these
countries; such information is difficult to obtain anywhere else. It also provides all
contact information needed for western European companies as well.
The Directory is available through
the usual United Nations agencies in most countries, or direct from:
