About this buyer

Owns and finances port and industrial-rail infrastructure at the Port of Toledo, whose General Cargo Dock has on-dock Class I rail access with dedicated terminal switch engines alongside service from CSX and Norfolk Southern. Built the Ironville Terminal rail connection (about $18,000,000, dedicated in phase one around 2011) linking a former Chevron refinery site to Norfolk Southern to enable Cleveland-Cliffs' Toledo direct-reduction-iron plant — a $700,000,000 investment that began commercial HBI production in 2020, ships finished product by truck and rail, and receives more than 2,000,000 tons of iron ore a year by vessel. Partners on rail-linked development with JobsOhio, the City of Toledo, Lucas County, the Regional Growth Partnership and the Ohio Rail Development Commission.
