Contanda exclusive interview with Tank News International


Tank News International’s Winter edition is available now and has already been distributed at a number of industry events. The edition features hundreds of tank storage and logistics industry articles from around the world. Here we feature an excerpt from an exclusive interview with Contanda Terminals’ President and CEO, G.R. (Jerry) Cardillo.

Contanda Terminals has recently announced a long-term lease agreement with the Port of Houston Authority for 339 acres of prime deep-water access property on the Houston Shipping Channel. The company has ambitious plans that will see the site developed into its largest facility. Here President and CEO, G.R. (Jerry) Cardillo (below), talks exclusively to Tank News International’s Emma Ardley-Batt about those plans.

Jerry joined Contanda in April 2016 with the express purpose of growing the company both in terms of storage capacity and revenue, and he’s certainly hit the ground running. The 30-year veteran of the industry, with 15 years spent at Chevron and Koch Industries and 15 years at Enterprise Products, started the process of focusing on potential growth projects within two months of joining Contanda.

“We took a step back and looked at what we already had; 15 terminals around North America and a strong focus on food based products. We looked at North America and decided we wanted to grow in the energy sector. The Port of Houston was very active but had very few remaining tracks of land with deep-water access. It is very rare to find this site on the Houston Ship Channel as the low energy prices are driving growth in this space,” Jerry said.
