Interbulk in £1.6m sale of containers

CHEMICALS transportation specialist Interbulk yesterday sealed its largest-ever single capital sales deal by selling some of its pressurised containers to a Malaysian manufacturing client for $2.6 million (£1.6m).

The East Kilbride-based firm, in which engineering tycoon Jim McColl holds a stake, extended its reach in Asia earlier this year after selling a 35 per cent stake in itself to Chinese peer Sinotrans.
