Petrotech Southeast Timeline
As the company grew, so did its need for a larger facility. In 2010, the company moved from its 2-acre facility in Ocoee to an 8-acre facility with an 18,000 square foot warehouse in Astatula, FL. A new tank farm with over 350,000-gallons of storage and expanded processing capacity was built from the ground up. In addition to the enhanced used oil, antifreeze, and oily water processing capabilities, the new facility allowed Petrotech to perform in-house solid waste processing of drummed waste such as absorbents and paper filters, but also perform sludge solidification of non-hazardous oily waste.
With its continued growth and need for business development and additional management the company names Jason Yates as its Vice-President.
The Pompano facility was sold, and the operations were centralized at the Ocoee, FL facility.
After the untimely passing of the company’s founder, Tony Yates, the company named Jeffrey Yates its new President.
In an effort to expand the company, Petrotech moved into the Central Florida market with the acquisition of Central Florida Fuels. Based in Ocoee, FL, the facility opened a new market for used oil and expanded used oil and solid waste processing capacity for the company.
