Senior Managing Director David Robinson established the initial relationship with CT&T.

“Following Hamilton Robinson’s recent recapitalization of Tanknology, CT&T was a natural and complementary opportunity for Tanknology to expand its customer base, incorporate additional services and drive growth within its business,” said Zweifel.
