KAG Canada buys Atlantic Canada’s largest milk hauler

Kenan Advantage Group Canada has purchased Shubenacadie, N.S.-based Fisher Transport, Atlantic Canada’s largest milk hauler.

The fleet of 60 tractors and 70 specialized trailers hauls more than 200 million liters of raw milk annually, and cements KAG Canada’s presence in Atlantic Canada, the company announced in a release.

Fisher also hauls other food-grade products, chemicals and non-food-grade bulk commodities.

“I am pleased the Fisher team will join KAG Canada, who share the same values, commitment to customer service and recognition of our specialized team who have been instrumental in achieving our success,” said Ken MacDonald, CEO of Fisher Transport. “I look forward to the opportunities that will emerge for the Fisher group of companies and for the valued members of our team by joining KAG, the industry leader in bulk transportation,” MacDonald continued.

Jordan MacDonald, president, and Charlie Eisener, CFO, will remain with the company. KAG Canada adds 60 drivers and 15 staff, who operate out of three locations in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador.

“Fisher Transport has an excellent reputation within the industry, among their customers, and within their local communities,” said Grant Mitchell, president and COO, of The Kenan Advantage Group. “When we were provided with the opportunity to partner with the Fisher team, we immediately knew it would be a great fit for KAG. Together our team will execute this strategic journey of offering coast-to-coast bulk transportation services to all of our customers.”
