Kriska Transportation Group Limited (KTG) is pleased to announce the acquisition of JMF Transport (1992) Ltée based in Valcourt, Que. JMF Transport will continue to be led by the current management team, including Mr. Stephan Brizard who will remain general manager of the company.
JMF Transport currently operates 65 tractors and 152 trailers.
“Since the formation of KTG in late 2014, we have been actively looking at acquisitions in Eastern Canada that fit our model of safe, well managed, and financially disciplined companies,” noted Mark Seymour, president and CEO of KTG. “Stephan Brizard and his team at JMF have built a company that meets all of these requirements, and I couldn’t be happier to have JMF join the KTG family. As we stated when we formed KTG last year, we believe the truckload market in Eastern Canada will continue to experience significant consolidation, and that our shareholders, employees, and customers will all benefit from the stability and leverage that a larger organization offers.”
Added Stephan Brizard: “Joining KTG offers the best of both worlds to the employees and customers of JMF Transport. We look forward to enjoying the economies of scale that KTG can bring to our company, while still being able to operate our business in the independent manner that has made us successful since our inception in 1967.”
With the acquisition, KTG now operates a total fleet of 535 tractors, 1,650 trailers, and employs 750 people, including owner operators.
