Dupré Logistics, a Louisiana-based Transportation company, recently announced the acquisition of Interstate Transport, Inc., an industry leader in temperature-controlled and time-sensitive food and beverage logistics based in St. Petersburg, Florida.
"It's always been Dupré's vision to be a diversified transportation and logistics company," stated Mike Weindel, Dupré Logistics' President. "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."
Based in St. Petersburg, Florida, and in business for over twenty years, Interstate Transport Inc. offers temperature-controlled, time-sensitive, dry, and flatbed brokerage services to companies across industries, including food service, horticulture, big box retailers, and emergency management. 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; however, the company will be known as a "Dupré Logistics Company." Interstate Transport's President and CEO, Gloria Hudson, and Vice President, Zach Aufmann, will continue to serve in senior leadership roles.
