Calgary, Alta.-based Trimac Transportation announced it acquired Service Transport Company (STC) on Oct. 1. Based in Houston, Texas, STC is a provider of chemical hauling services with 16 locations and four tank wash facilities across the U.S. Gulf Coast.
“Service Transport Company has built a reputation for safety, reliability and customer service, and we are thrilled to welcome them into the Trimac family,” Matt Faure, president and CEO of Trimac, said in a news release. “Their expertise in chemical hauling aligns perfectly with our long-term growth strategy, and together we will strengthen our ability to deliver safe, reliable and efficient transportation solutions.”
Founded in 1965, STC has grown into one of the largest chemical tank carriers in the region. The company operates a fleet of nearly 290 tractors and 750 trailers and employs more than 300 drivers who specialize in the transportation of chemical products.
The company serves a diversified portfolio of top chemical producers, including leading shipments of hydrogen peroxide, acrylic acid, solvents, surfactants and other specialty products. These commodities are also core to Trimac’s service offering, reinforcing the strategic fit and enabling both companies to deliver enhanced value to customers across North America, according to the carrier.
“Service Transport has been dedicated to safe and reliable service in the chemical sector for six decades,” Wade Harrison, president of STC, added in the release. “Together with Trimac, we can deliver even greater value to the customers who have trusted us for decades.”
As a fellow Heil Trophy winner, STC is among North America’s safest carriers, reflecting the same commitment to safety, service and excellence that has long defined Trimac, the release added.
