Target

United Terminal Korea (UTK) operates tank terminals at the port of Ulsan that store liquid cargo such as petroleum and petrochemical products, earning storage fees from B2B customers.

Deal rationale

According to reports, Macquarie PE bought UTK in 2017 for about KRW 100bn and grew it through terminal expansion and bolt-on acquisitions, lifting revenue/operating profit from KRW 15.6bn/6.4bn at entry to KRW 43.3bn/13.9bn in 2022 before selling. IMM PE was reported to have invested because of the company's stable B2B-based earnings, funding the deal from its blind fund Rose Gold No. 5.
