Ventura Transfer Company Transloads Latex For Air Products

Los Angeles, CA – July 17, 2007 — Ventura Transfer Company (VTC), a pioneer in the transloading and distribution of bulk products shipped throughout the United States, today announced a relationship with Air Products for the efficient transloading of thousands of gallons of latex for residential and commercial paint. Six major paint brands will use the latex on the West Coast.

The number of loads varies from 20/25 loads each month to up to 40 loads in the summer. Each load will be transloaded from railcar to truck for distribution at a VTC facility. Latex is a substance that requires specific training to handle properly given its thick and sticky nature. Hoses need to be washed and used in specific ways to ensure that the material maintains its integrity. VTC’s transloaders have all been trained in the proper handling of thousands of substances, both benign and hazardous.
