Our company
Born to Bring You to Safe Harbor
And so we have been doing since our beginnings, back in the 60s, when our company was named Antivari after a port located across from the island of Bari, in Montenegro.
Antivari was the result of the merger of two family businesses, whose owners decided to establish a storage terminal at the Port of Dock Sud, in Buenos Aires: the Odfjell family, owner of a Norwegian shipping company, and the Radonjic family, of Yugoslavian origin, owner of Codel, an Argentine industrial building company.
In the early years, the company dealt exclusively with the storage of bulk products dispatched by DuPont Company to its local branch, but over the years and having gained more experience, Antivari exponentially expanded its client portfolio, triggering the extension of its tank farm to its maximum capacity.
In the 90s the dry cargo warehouse was built, adding the fractionation service. Thus began something which set us apart once again — we now offered warehousing services to leading multinational corporations, including Dow Chemical Company.
Driven by our desire to keep growing, in 2012 we made a major investment. Our plant was restructured in order to comply with the new regulations of the Port of Dock Sud, offering the storage of hydrocarbons, biofuels, lubricants and specialties.
Being named after a port is highly meaningful to us, so much so that it has defined our philosophy: we aim at connecting needs, be it on land or water, as well as growing and helping our environment grow in the process.
