Founded in 1965, STC serves local chemical producers, transporting liquids like hydrogen peroxide, acrylic acid and solvents as well as chemical compounds. The company has a fleet of approximately 290 tractors (300 drivers) and 750 trailers that operate out of 16 locations across the Gulf Coast.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“Service Transport Company has built a reputation for safety, reliability and customer service, and we are thrilled to welcome them into the Trimac family,” said Matt Faure, Trimac president and CEO, 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.”
Trimac operates more than 140 locations in the U.S. and Canada with a team of 3,400 employees.
Trimac acquired a pair of flatbed carriers earlier this year. In August, it purchased Searcy Trucking (over 120 trucks and 170 trailers) and in January; it bought Watt & Stewart (124 tractors and 205 trailers).
