The Manitoulin Group of Companies is expanding its presence in northwestern Quebec and Ontario with the acquisition of a transport company out of Quebec.
According to the release, the group, part of Manitoulin Transport, acquired Martin Roy Transport of Rouyn-Noranda on July 18th.
Manitoulin Transport president Jeff Kings says Martin Roy was established in 1998 and operates terminals in Val-d’Or, Dorval, Timmins, Mississauga, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, and Thunder Bay.
He says with a comparable terminal network footprint in many locations, there are significant opportunities to enhance their service in the market.

The Gore Bay-based Manitoulin Group operates an international portfolio of companies, which include ground transportation, freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and warehousing.
