On Monday, IMC Logistics announced it had acquired California-based drayage company American Pacific Transportation.
The acquisition will not only bolster IMC’s position as an industry leader, the company said, but also increase the company’s position and truck capacity in California and across the West Coast.
“As a result of this acquisition, we will have more than 500 trucks in California, signifying our commitment to our customers in this region,” Joel Henry, Chief Executive Officer for IMC, said.
Henry said the acquisition will mean to new locations in Lompoc and Calexico, Calif.
“The transition should be seamless,” Henry said. “We already have so much in common including 42+ years of dedicated expertise, similar values, a commitment to customer service as our top priority, and an eagerness to provide superior care and capacity for our growing client base.”
