ATCO Investments
Energy Systems
Through a careful investment strategy, ATCO is building a tailored portfolio of investments and businesses that balances risk, enhances growth opportunities and diversifies our economic sectors, while establishing a global brand and culture. We currently have investments in ports and transportation logistics, materials processing and marketing, retail food services and commercial real estate.
ATCO holds a 40 per cent interest in Neltume Ports, a port operator and developer with a diversified portfolio of multipurpose, bulk cargo and container terminals. Neltume’s team of more than 7,600 employees operates 18 port facilities and six port operation services businesses located primarily in Chile, with additional operations in Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and the United States.
With an impressive growth trajectory since being formed in 1995, Neltume Ports is keenly focused on incorporating the highest safety and efficiency standards into its infrastructure. We take pride in the culture we are helping to build at Neltume Ports – positive, productive and safety-driven, in coordination with our trusted partner, Ultramar.
Ashcor transforms fly ash, a byproduct of coal power plants, into a high-grade supplement that makes concrete stronger and more durable. Since there are fewer coal plants operating today, we have developed a commercial solution that can process and recycle landfilled ash to ensure a steady supply of fly ash that satisfies long-term industry demand. This reduces carbon emissions associated with cement production and provides a solution to utilities companies in managing their stockpiles of ash. We have expanded Ashcor’s marketing territory to encompass Western Canada, as well as the Southern U.S.
From the newly launched Viva Homes by ATCO to our two office buildings in downtown Calgary, we take an entrepreneurial approach to managing our extensive real estate holdings.
Viva Homes by ATCO is our newest venture, offering a rapid, high-quality alternative to conventionally built homes. Our modular expertise allows us to offer a standardized, repeatable design that reduces time to move-in ready housing, in alignment with the acute housing needs of many jurisdictions. With construction timelines that span weeks, not years, disruption to neighbourhoods is reduced and our ability to deliver housing solutions is amplified. We have begun a 32-unit pilot project in Northwest Calgary, with an overall goal to deliver 1,000 homes by 2030. This innovative approach supports the national need for housing options and provides governments, agencies and market owners with a highquality, turnkey housing solution at a pace that cannot be matched through conventional construction methods
Our Strategic Focus
Balancing yield and growth with a diversified portfolio
Growing opportunities with Neltume Ports by improving operational efficiency, increasing volumes and ownership at existing ports, and investing in brownfield, greenfield and acquisition opportunities throughout the Americas.
Building new businesses to support emmssion reductions efforts. For example, Ashcor uses reclaimed coal ash as a lower-environmental-impact additive to concrete used in infrastructure and industrial processes.
Leveraging our real estate holdings by making improvements to existing sites to capture higher market value and building a portfolio of undeveloped sites that can be tailored to meet market demand.
