Premier Bulk Systems, part of the Heniff family of companies, recently acquired Longhorn Transportation in Berry Mills, New Brunswick, Canada.
The acquisition is Premier’s first commercial expansion into the Maritime provinces, the company reported.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“We’re very excited to welcome our new teammates from Longhorn,” Kevin Berry, Premier founder and president, said in a news release. “The addition of Longhorn into Premier’s operating network is highly complementary and leaves us well-positioned for ongoing commercial success and future growth.”
Founded in 2004, Longhorn is a liquid bulk carrier specializing in the transport of petroleum products, asphalt, acids, and other high-performance chemicals. The company is located just outside Moncton, New Brunswick, which is the most populous city in the province, and rests in the geographic center of the Maritimes.
“We are very excited to join the Premier team,” said Ryan Butland, Longhorn founder and president. “The moment we started working together and building a relationship, we knew this was a great fit. Premier’s values, goals, and work ethic align perfectly with the Longhorn brand.
“This relationship will continue to advance our team forward while continuing our commitment to safety and service for our valued customers.”
