Enhances operations in Quebec and Ontario
GORE BAY—The Manitoulin Group of Companies has announced its acquisition of Martin Transport (MRT), effective Monday, July 18.
Founded in 1998 by Martin Roy and his mother Claire, MRT is a well-established transportation company based in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. The company operates terminal facilities in Val-d’Or, Dorval, Timmins, Mississauga, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay. MRT has built a strong reputation in the truckload (LTL) and full truckload (FTL) markets across various industries, many of which align with Manitoulin Transport’s existing client base.
“We are delighted to welcome Martin Roy and the entire MRT team to the Manitoulin Group,” said Jeff King, president of Manitoulin Transport. “With a comparable terminal network footprint in many locations, there are significant opportunities to enhance our service in this important market. We look forward to collaborating with the MRT Team in the coming months.”
“Joining the Manitoulin Group of Companies marks an exciting new chapter for our company,” said Martin Roy, president of MRT. “Our companies share the same values on hard work and integrity, and we are confident this partnership will benefit our customers.”
This acquisition strengthens Manitoulin’s presence and service capabilities, particularly in Northwestern Quebec and Ontario, enhancing operational efficiencies and expanding service offerings to both companies’ customers.
