Quantix is growing again.
The chemical supply chain services company recently acquired G&W Tanks, a provider of ISO tank transportation, repair, storage, cleaning, and loading with locations in Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia.
G&W represents the eighth acquisition for Quantix under the ownership of private-equity firm Wind Point Partners.
“G&W is a terrific addition to the Quantix family of companies, and we congratulate owners Tom Oppold and Tracy Earp on the strong business they have built,” said Chris Ball, president and CEO of Quantix. “The company’s culture aligns well with the Quantix approach to customer service and our vision for continued expansion, including aggressive growth of the ISO tank container market, which holds tremendous opportunity for our business.”
Quantix said adding G&W boosts its presence in the Southeast U.S., and strengthens its fleet of specialized assets.
“G&W Tanks has meant a great deal to me and Tracy over these past 10 years, and we know that the company will be in great hands with Quantix,” said Oppold, president and CEO of G&W Tanks. “Quantix embodies everything that we want for the future of G&W Tanks, and we look forward to the next chapter of G&W’s story.”
Wind Point acquired Quantix, then known as A&R Logistics, in 2019 in partnership with board co-chair Mark Holden, a veteran logistics executive who served as CEO of Quantix from 2012 until his retirement in 2021. Ball, a member of the Quantix leadership team since 2016 with more than 25 years of experience in the supply chain and logistics industry, was promoted from president, to president and CEO in 2021.
“Strengthening our Southeast presence and ISO tank offerings are key steps within the Quantix value creation plan,” said Konrad Salaber, managing director at Wind Point. “Tom, Tracy, and their team have created an outstanding operation, and this combination comes with great upside for Quantix, G&W, and our collective customers and employees.”
