One-stop shop
Jordan continues,“ Refurbishment is where the market has been heading – toward preserving assets. If a customer buys new tanks, elongating the lifespan of that asset is really important for cost savings. Refurbishment has become a fairly relevant trend. We take a used and somewhat dated asset, send it to be shot-blasted, repainted and recertify it with new valves. The steel is retained, but everything else gets replaced. The addition of Ditech enables our customers to reduce costs by saving depreciating assets, and they can take advantage of Ditech’ s logistics management process, ensuring tanks are recertified on time and arrive seamlessly at their required destination.
“ Instead of building this unique service from scratch, we looked at the industry to identify the best company for providing refurbishment services. We started to work with Ditech in partnership and eventually turned that into an acquisition. They’ ve been a great complement to what we can offer.
“ Now, we are the only company in the industry that can provide everything from the smallest possible sizes all the way up to very large 1000-gallon new tanks and offer refurbishment services. So, we really are a one-stop shop for all of our customers.”
Another benefit of acquiring Ditech is the enhancement of transport capabilities. Ditech managed its own logistics with trucks, drivers and the ability to transport truckloads
