NEW YORK, June 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollo (NYSE: APO) today announced that funds managed by Apollo affiliates (the “Apollo Funds”) have agreed to make a structured equity investment in Intermodal Tank Transport (“ITT” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of ISO tank transportation logistics and depot services for bulk-liquid chemical and food-grade products. ITT will continue to be led by President and Chief Executive Officer Jon Hulsey and the existing management team. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Founded in 1993, Intermodal Tank Transport is a recognized leader in ISO tank container transportation and logistics, serving hundreds of customers via its leading tank fleet and depot locations.

In addition to being the largest U.S.-based ISO tank operator, the Company provides ISO tank maintenance, cleaning and inspection services across its global depot network. In the current market environment, ISO tanks are becoming an increasingly favored mode of transport due to higher reliability, safety, flexibility and ease-of-use compared to other alternatives.

I look forward to continuing to lead the dedicated, hardworking team at ITT as we continue driving value and enhancing customer experience.”

“Jon and the team have done an exceptional job building ITT into an industry leader with high-quality assets and an unwavering commitment to customer service,” said David Cohen, Partner at Apollo. “As food, chemical and other industries increasingly turn to ISO tanks for reliable, safe transport, we believe ITT is well positioned to expand its leadership position as a specialty logistics provider serving supply chains and owners of infrastructure around the globe.”

“This investment in ITT demonstrates our ability to partner with leading global businesses and management teams to unlock value in complex operating environments,” said Dylan Foo, Head of Global Infrastructure at Apollo. “With our flexible capital, global resources and significant industry experience, we believe we are well positioned to support Jon and the ITT team as they continue to drive sustainable long-term success.”
