ManitoulinTransport, based out of Gore Bay on Manitoulin Island, has acquired MatcoTransportation Systems.

Based in Edmonton, Matco is a fully integrated mover services company that was established in 1966. It offers moving services for household goods, freight, international, courier, airport ground handling and warehousing needs.

Its primary catchment area includes Edmonton and Calgary in Alberta, along with the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut.

“We are delighted to announce that we have purchased Matco, a company known for more than 40 years for its exceptional customer service, professionalism and expertise,” said Don Goodwill, president of Manitoulin Transport, in a statement.

“This brings together two highly complementary businesses which should significantly benefit both Manitoulin and Matco customers,” he added. “Manitoulin customers now have the benefit of accessing expertise in the household relocation business, as well as even greater coverage in Canada’s northwest. Matco customers now benefit from easy access to Manitoulin Group of Companies’ full suite of services, and can continue to experience the same high level of customer service they have come to expect.”

This is the fifth acquisition Manitoulin Transport has made since May 2012.
