Nothing Compares to Solid Ground

Terra Firma originates from the Latin word terra (“earth” or “land”) and firma (“strong” or “steadfast”). At Terra Firma, we build upon these Latin roots to embody a company that is secure, well-founded, dependable, and stable.  With this foundation and a history as a specialty chemicals distributor since 1949, we are now firmly established as a recognized leader in North America with the merger of Terra Firma, Dowd & Guild, and Northspec in 2022. Working alongside our Supplier Partners and Customers, Terra Firma is counted on to help create, build, and grow business.
