Dear Valued Customer:

 

As we finish up the first half of the year, I would like to take this opportunity to update you on some of our key initiatives. Our new transloading site, located in New Orleans, LA, is currently under construction. The new state-of-the-art tank wash, maintenance facilities and offices on this property will be operational in the third quarter. This terminal, located on the New Orleans Public Belt, has access to the six leading railroads, and will greatly increase our capabilities in the Gulf Coast region. 

 

Our other new transloading facility, located in Channelview, TX, is also under construction and will be complete later this year. This terminal will also have full-service capabilities, including maintenance bays, tank wash, UP rail access, and much more.

 
From a staffing perspective, we've added some key financial and terminal management employees to help support our growth as a company. Bob Gilhooly, Angie Mason, and Towania Spencer bring a wealth of experience to their new financial roles at Heniff. Chad Davis, our new Kingsport, TN terminal manager, brings many years of driving, dispatch and management experience.
 
As we plan for the balance of the year, our focus will remain the same. We will continue to have a laser-like focus on delivering our customers' chemical products safely and securely every time, rapidly growing our capacity through purchasing state-of-the-art trucks and trailers, and providing unmatched customer service to our customers.  
 
 
Regards,

Bob Heniff
President
