/0 Comments/in , /by

Jackson, Miss. – Ergon Terminaling, Inc., (ETI) has been awarded the International Liquid Terminals Association (ILTA) Safety Excellence Award for its exemplary record of zero recordable incidents in 2018. The award was presented at ILTA’s 39th Annual Operating Conference and Trade Show in Houston, Texas.

This accomplishment is evidence of the effectiveness of ETI’s Target Zero campaign. Launched in 2016, the goal for this campaign is to increase hazard awareness and promote individual safety ownership in order to achieve zero recordable incidents and zero lost time events.

“Even though we perform a broad scope of functions within Ergon Terminaling, all team members, managers and operators alike have come to recognize that our most important function is to look out for each other by working safely,” said Craig Rohr, ETI North Regional Manager and Manager of the company’s terminal in Magnolia, Ohio. “Through good and thorough task analysis, and by keeping everyone keen and alert through constant safety awareness, we strive to make sure that everyone goes home to their families in the same or better condition than they came to work. For us, safety is much more than just something we talk about or read about on a poster. Safety is the key element of our mission.”

To date, ETI has gone 3.5 years with zero recordable incidents and looks forward to many more years of hitting Target Zero.

“ILTA is an international organization that is made up of a global network of terminaling companies, so it is a privilege for Ergon Terminaling to be recognized amongst our industry peers for our focus on safety,” said Joel Pastorek, ETI president. “This recognition validates the efforts that each person has contributed to making safety personal, which at its core, means protecting each team member so they can return home to their families.”

Ergon Purchases Resinall

/0 Comments/in , /by

JACKSON, Miss. – Ergon, Inc., announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Ergon Chemicals, LLC, completed the purchase of Resinall Corp, Resinall Mississippi Inc., Industrial Transport Inc., and Resinall QALICB, LLC, (Resinall) on August 1, 2018. Resinall is a manufacturer of thermoplastic resins and polymers with manufacturing facilities in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and Severn, North Carolina. This acquisition moves Ergon into the specialty chemicals market, building upon the company’s commitment to being a global leader in the refining and marketing of specialty products.

Resinall utilizes both natural and synthetic raw materials, chemical reactions and process equipment to create binders and elastomer modifiers for a wide range of industrial applications. Like Ergon, the company serves customers in the adhesive, tire, ink, and specialty markets around the world.

“Resinall and Ergon are known for consistent supply of hydrocarbon specialty products and unparalleled customer service,” commented Emmitte Haddox, Ergon CEO. “The overlap in our key industries and customer base makes Resinall a perfect fit for the Ergon organization. Ergon’s existing terminaling, trucking and waterways transport infrastructure, as well as our technical and operational expertise and support, will help Resinall achieve even greater success. Our company cultures are remarkably similar, with utmost importance placed on safety, employees, technology, quality products, and customer relationships.”

Like Ergon, which was started by Leslie Lampton with just two employees in 1954 and has grown to serve customers in over 90 countries around the world, Resinall was founded by a visionary who came from humble beginnings. The family-owned company was established by John M. Godina in 1981 and has been managed by his wife, his two sons, and an executive management team since his death in 2012.

“As we considered potential suitors for Resinall, Ergon was by far the best fit,” said Lee Godina, former President of Resinall. “Not only does Ergon understand what it means to be a manufacturer, but they deeply value employees and support customers.”

“We are excited to welcome Resinall to the Ergon family,” Haddox added. “We look forward to continued growth for both companies in the future.”

KeyBanc acted as exclusive sell-side advisor to Resinall on the transaction.

About Resinall Corp:
