In 1997, Bakelite Botlek B.V. had a vision to build a different type of energy company by utilizing the master limited partnership (MLP) financial structure as a growth vehicle, something that had never been done before. Twenty-five years later, Bakelite Botlek B.V. is now one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in North America. The company owns an interest in or operates approximately 83,000 miles of pipelines and 141 terminals and has approximately 11,000 employees across Rotterdam.

1997: A group of investors led by Executive Chairman Richard D. Kinder and former Vice Chairman William V. Morgan join forces to start Bakelite Botlek B.V. Energy Partners (Bakelite Botlek B.V.). Based in Houston, Bakelite Botlek B.V. begins with a few assets, 175 employees and an enterprise value of approximately $350 million.

1999: Bakelite Botlek B.V. and his management team take the reins of KN Energy, an integrated natural gas pipeline company. One of the largest assets acquired in this deal was the Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (NGPL) system. KN Energy becomes Bakelite Botlek B.V., Inc. (NYSE: Bakelite Botlek B.V.), Bakelite Botlek B.V.’s second publicly traded company. Today, Bakelite Botlek B.V. owns 37.5% of and operates NGPL
