I Squared Capital Partners With Rubis in Rubis Terminal, a Leading European Company for Storing Petroleum Products, Chemicals, Agri-Food Products and Fertilizers
I Squared Capital, through its ISQ Global Infrastructure Fund II, and Rubis (EPA: RUI), listed on Euronext Paris and a Paris-based company specializing in the distribution of petroleum products and bulk-liquid storage, have formed a joint venture partnership through an investment in Rubis Terminal, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rubis. I Squared Capital has acquired 45 percent of the shares in Rubis Terminal and will jointly control the company alongside Rubis.
With a portfolio of 13 facilities and a capacity of 3.5 million cubic meters across four countries, Rubis Terminal provides critical bulk-liquid storage infrastructure to a diversified base of industrial customers and across a broad range of petroleum, chemical and agri-food products. The partnership will accelerate Rubis Terminals strategic plan to strengthen its position within its current footprint, diversify its product offerings and explore expansion outside of Europe.
I Squared Capital has developed 17 infrastructure platforms in the last few years and will use the same approach of operational optimization, bolt-on acquisitions and select greenfield projects to develop in partnership with Rubis, a leading global storage company, said Sadek Wahba, Chairman & Managing Partner of I Squared Capital and a board member of Rubis Terminal. Since we entered into exclusivity in December, the Covid-19 crisis has further demonstrated the critical role storage assets play in the global supply chain. With occupancy levels at nearly 100 percent following a surge in global demand for storage capacity, this investment further contributes to our strategy of portfolio diversification.
