Chicago-based STG Logistics announced Wednesday it was expanding its intermodal network into and out of various Canadian markets.
The expansions into Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Moncton and Halifax will complement the company’s existing Canadian services in Toronto and Montreal, officials said. Using its 15,000 GPS equipped intermodal containers and proprietary Rail Optimizer system, the company said it will move shipments, both intra-Canada and cross-border.
“We are excited to continue our intermodal growth by offering our best-in-class service to customers with Canadian opportunities,” said Geoff Anderman, STG Logistics president and chief operating officer. “As the leading provider of Port-to-Door services for containerized goods, we feel that these new lanes enhance and strengthen our industry position.”
The company said its Mexico routes will use the Falcon Premium and Eagle Premium services through Union Pacific Railroad. Falcon Premium, the company said, provides the fastest intermodal service between Chicago and Detroit, and the Mexican border and is the most direct rail route through Canada and Mexico.
STG Logistics offers “Port-to-Door” services for containerized goods across North America, and has an extensive facility network comprised of more than 100 locations.
