Chicago-based Quantix announced Wednesday it would be reinforcing its geographic presence and building on its warehousing and trucking operations through its acquisition of Mid-States Packaging.
Quantix, a leading chemical industry supply chain services company, said Mid-States full-service dry bulk transportation, warehousing, and export services would reinforce its position in the industry. Mid-States has 11 locations in Texas, the Northeast, and the Mid-Atlantic regions.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Mid-States team to Quantix, and we congratulate owners Tracy Harpin and Chuck Giroux on the exceptional business they have built,” President and CEO of Quantix Chris Ball said. “The company’s service lines, geographic footprint, and culture build well upon our go-to-market approach as we continue to expand.”
Mid-States is the ninth acquisition for Quantix since it was purchased by Wind Point in 2019. Wind Point is an active investor in transportation, logistics, and route-based businesses whose prior investments include Dicom Transportation, STG Logistics, American Trailer Rental Group, Valicor Environmental Services, Smart Care, FreshEdge, and D&H United. Quantix’s acquisition strategy will continue to focus on acquiring companies that provide dry and liquid bulk transportation, as well as warehousing, export, and logistics services, the company said.
“This next chapter for Mid-States looks bright, and we’re glad to have found a company that aligns so strongly with our mission and values,” commented Tracy Harpin, CEO of Mid-States. “Being part of Quantix’s continued leadership in the dry bulk market is going to be incredibly rewarding for our team.”
