The Chairman of CLH, José Luis López de Silanes, stated that “this agreement represents a unique opportunity to continue the company’s international expansion and consolidate its presence in the European market”.

CLH’s CEO, Jorge Lanza, added that “this transaction will expand CLH’s knowledge on chemical products and biofuel storage by gaining the experience of a European leader in these business segments. It is also in line with CLH’s strategy of diversification beyond hydrocarbons in response to the challenges of climate change.”

"CLH is acquiring a high-quality business with an outstanding team who have made an important contribution to the success and growth of Inter Pipeline over the past 15-years," stated Christian Bayle, President and CEO of Inter Pipeline.
