Carboclor S.A. (Argentina)

Carboclor S.A. is an Argentine company headquartered in Campana, Buenos Aires, specializing in port terminal operations, logistics, and storage services, with a legacy in the chemical and petrochemical industry. Originally founded in 1961 as a petrochemical plant, the company began operations in 1968 and was a pioneer in Argentina for ISO 9001 certification in 1997. In 2013, the company was acquired by ANCAP Group (Administración Nacional de Combustibles, Alcohol y Portland of Uruguay), which currently controls 84.11% of the shares through its subsidiary ANCSOL S.A.F.I. Historically focused on the production of chemical compounds such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and secondary butyl-alcohol (SBA), Carboclor underwent a strategic transformation starting in 2017, shifting its core business toward logistics and port services. Today, it offers bulk liquid storage, heated tank services, LPG export infrastructure, and customs-enabled port operations, handling over 300 ships between 2021 and 2024. The company’s most important services and brands are now centered around its logistics terminal, which includes 9,500 m³ of heated tank capacity, LPG maritime export lines, and ISCC RED II certification for sustainable operations. Carboclor is publicly traded on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (BCBA: CARC) and continues to invest in infrastructure and environmental standards, including ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications. Its transformation from a petrochemical producer to a logistics hub reflects a broader strategy of diversification, innovation, and sustainable value creation.
