St Petersburg, Florida, USA: Dupré Logistics has acquired Florida-based Interstate Transport, a provider of temperature-controlled food and beverage logistics.
Dupré Logistics, based in Louisiana, is a privately owned company providing logistics through three business divisions: Onsite and Private Fleet Services, Strategic Capacity Brokerage Services, and Energy Distribution Services.
“It’s always been Dupré’s vision to be a diversified transportation and logistics company,” Mike Weindel, president, Dupré, said in a news release. “We continue to pursue opportunities that will help us broaden our service portfolio and increase our company footprint across the United States. The combination of Interstate’s expertise, healthy footprint in the food and beverage logistics space, and the strong cultural overlap between our two companies made this a winning combination.”
The addition of Interstate Transport will increase Dupré’s density and service offering in Florida and expand its East Coast operations and carrier network. The Interstate Transport name will be retained, Dupré said. However, the company will be known as a “Dupré Logistics Company.” Gloria Hudson, chief executive, Interstate Transport, will remain in post.
“We are excited about this next phase in Interstate Transport’s history,” Hudson said. “The transition for our customers will be seamless and ‘business as usual.’ This transaction will allow us to continue to drive value and opportunities for our customers and employees.
