A fund managed by Macquarie Asset Management has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 40 percent equity stake in select U.S. Gulf Coast infrastructure assets of Dow, Inc.
This new partnership, Diamond Infrastructure Solutions, will be a specialist infrastructure provider to Dow and other industrial customers at its five locations in Texas and Louisiana, offering comprehensive services to its tenants with a focus on world class efficiency, reliability and safety. As a dedicated infrastructure company, Diamond will be a new business model with greater strategic focus on operational efficiencies and new customer acquisition.
Diamond is comprised of certain non-product producing assets (power and steam production, pipelines, environmental operations and general site infrastructure) located at five of Dow’s manufacturing sites in the U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC): Freeport, Texas City, and Seadrift in Texas, as well as Plaquemine and St. Charles in Louisiana.
