Pennsylvania-based PGT Holdings recently established Southern Pines Cryogenics as an independent asset-based carrier providing bulk cryogenic transportation solutions for the industrial gas industry.
Southern Pines Cryogenics previously operated as a division of PGT subsidiary Southern Pines Trucking, which was founded in 2000. Now as its own entity, Southern Pines Cryogenics is positioned for continued growth, safely transporting vital gases across North America to service the construction, healthcare, chemicals, food and beverage, and other industries, the company reported.
“As an independent company, Southern Pines Cryogenics will focus exclusively on the safe transportation of industrial gas products,” owner Pat Gallagher said in a news release. “We offer a close-knit community of drivers and staff who are committed to providing exceptional customer service. Southern Pines Cryogenics is the trusted partner for industrial gas transportation.”
With a fleet of late-model Peterbilt 579 tractors and bulk cryogenic trailers equipped with the latest safety technology, Southern Pines Cryogenics provides flexible solutions to meet customers’ diverse transportation needs.
Southern Pines Cryogenics is led by Darren Coast, who serves as president. Coast started his transportation career at PGT after graduating from Westminster College. He now has over 30 years of multi-modal experience in transportation and logistics. Coast also is a member of several trucking and industrial gas associations, including ATA, TCA, NTTC, TMC, PMTA, CGA, and GAWDA.
“We are excited to announce the formation of Southern Pines Cryogenics as its own entity and expand on the great service offerings, customer service, and reliability that our customers have known from us over the years as a division of Southern Pines Trucking,” Coast said. “With safety and service at the forefront, we look forward to expanding our business and continuing to meet and exceed the needs of our valued customers, drivers, and staff.”
