Stolthaven Terminals has announced the sale of its Altona Terminal to the Australasian Solvents & Chemicals Company (ASCC).

For ASCC to invest in Altona, we know that we are committing to the Australian manufacturing markets long term. Altona will continue its operations in supplying quality blending, storage and distribution facilities to existing and future customers. And will retain all current employees on the site. ASCC looks forward to servicing our valued customers.”
