CAMDEN, N.J., Oct. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- NFI, a leading North American supply chain solutions provider, added 200 intermodal containers to its growing Canadian fleet in September. The purchase, which includes a mix of refrigerated and dry van containers, positions NFI as the largest private intermodal reefer carrier in Canada, second only to CN and CP rail. The investment in Canada lifts the company to over 500 owned intermodal containers.
NFI will continue to invest in its Intermodal business in both the US and Canada as the share of market between truck and intermodal undergoes a re-balancing through 2023. The company attributes providing flexible, nimble solutions to its customers as the main driver behind the venture. The addition of the new assets allows NFI to scale its multi-modal operations, which offer LTL, multi-stop LTL, FTL, multi-stop reefers, and brokerage, amongst other custom solutions.
"I'm extremely excited about scaling NFI's Intermodal offerings to be more responsive to the challenges that the market and the wider supply chain have thrust upon us," said Mark McKendry, NFI's SVP of Intermodal. "It is through cooperative customer partnerships and NFI's collaboration with rail and drayage carriers that has facilitated such a significant investment in the Canadian operation. Our commitment to customers remains clear: deliver the best possible rail service with the most value for our Canadian shipper-partners, while further detangling the complexities of consuming Intermodal in Canada."
According to McKendry, the company's investment is in line with NFI's long-term Canadian growth strategy, which extends past its intermodal investment. The company currently provides dedicated fleet solutions in Canada via a mix of 140 company owned tractors and independent contractors. Additionally, NFI operates 2.3 million square feet of warehousing space in the country and offers a full suite of non-asset transportation solutions including LTL, OTR, and Flatbed.
Founded in 1932, NFI is celebrating its 90th anniversary as one of the oldest and largest privately-held and family-owned 3PLs in North America. The company offers expertise spanning a variety of diverse industries, including food and beverage, retail and eCommerce, manufacturing, and consumer packaged goods.
