Trimac Transportation (CCJ Top 250, No. 70) on Monday acquired Spruce Pine, N.C.-based Feldspar Trucking. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Founded in 1967 as a single truck in operation known then as Norris Trucking, Feldspar Trucking has grown to 60 company drivers and a crew of contract carriers, and office and shop staffs that specialize in the bulk transportation of feldspar, sand, clay and minerals vital to the ceramics and glass industries.
"We are thrilled to welcome Feldspar to the Trimac family," said Trimac President & CEO Matt Faure. "Their dedication to service with safety aligns perfectly with our values. Together and with the help of Feldspar’s leaders, we're poised to enhance our bulk transportation services even further, supporting our customers and communities with unparalleled excellence.”
Feldspar Trucking, which will retain its name post-closing, helps expand Trimac’s service offering and its geographic reach. By aligning with Feldspar's local expertise, Trimac aims to solidify its position as a dominant carrier servicing the growing mining industry in the region.
“As a family-owned company deeply rooted in our values of integrity and service, joining forces with Trimac marks an exciting chapter in our journey,” said Jim Norris of Feldspar Trucking. “This partnership not only ensures the continued growth and success of Feldspar Trucking but also opens doors to new opportunities and expanded horizons for our team and clients alike.”
