Leadership – Transformation Technologies Inc.

Management team

Builders first, managers second

The Transformation Technologies management team has been building environmental recycling equipment for decades. R. Patrick Garrett and Keith Chapman started working together in the early 1990s and spearheaded some of the largest remediation and reclamation projects in the world, across the United States, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

In the late 1990s they turned their attention fully to green technologies, creating oil products from high-hydrocarbon materials without exploration, drilling or transport. In 2006 they focused on spent catalyst from refineries, building a facility that converts hazardous waste into four beneficial use products.

TTI Nigeria

From Bonny Island to West Africa’s next chapter

Transformation Technologies first entered Nigeria in 1996 through a landmark remediation project on Bonny Island. Awarded by Shell Nigeria to Oil Recovery and Environmental Services, the contract involved building and operating the first thermal remediation facility ever mobilized on the African continent. TTI supplied the technology and operational expertise for the five-year cleanup.

Among the twelve university graduates selected to launch and operate the facility was Gbenga Abiodun Olaniyan, recommended by his uncle, His Royal Majesty Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo, then a retired military officer, businessman and shareholder of Oil Recovery and Environmental Services. It was Gbenga's performance, his maturity, initiative and leadership, that earned lasting respect.

Over the following twenty-plus years, Gbenga built his own enterprise while staying close to TTI and its technologies. In 2022 he approached TTI CEO Garrett with a vision for a truly indigenous Nigerian company built on TTI's proven technologies and operating standards. Garrett agreed on one condition: that Oba Gbadebo serve as Chairman, bringing the story full circle.

TTI Nigeria was incorporated as the parent company, with MVC Integrated Technologies as its operating entity. The company is also evaluating advanced Track & Trace technologies for the Nigerian market, supporting supply-chain transparency, environmental accountability, security and operational efficiency.
