We are pleased to announce the completion of two strategic acquisitions in the state of Florida.
On August 15th, Kamps completed the acquisition of the Jacksonville, FL location from Pallet Express, Inc. (“Pallet Express”). On August 29th, Kamps also acquired All-State Pallets Company LLC (“All State Pallets”), an Orlando-based pallet company.
The two acquisitions add 65 new employees to our team, and 103 trailers, across two locations. All local staff and leadership with stay on-board to ensure continuity and a pleasant customer experience. The acquired locations specialize in pallet recycling, new pallet manufacturing, and total pallet management services. These services align with Kamps’ core competencies and strengthen our ability to locally deliver comprehensive pallet services.
The newly acquired locations will fall underneath Kamps’ South-East region, which now includes eight asset-based locations throughout North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. View all Kamps locations here.
We are excited to expand our physical footprint in Florida by adding two more capable locations to our Kamps network. Both locations have grown and become successful by providing great service and quality to a diversified customer base. We look forward to bringing more volume and capabilities to each location to promote additional growth opportunities for the teams. Both locations are strong cultural fits and stand behind similar values, which aligns our team nicely.
