Logistec USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Montreal-based Logistec Corporation, said it has entered into a long-term agreement with HRK Holdings, LLC for the handling of fertilizers and other bulk materials in Port Manatee, Fla.
HRK will develop a new distribution centre for its fertilizer and bulk import customers in central Florida and will use the services of Logistec at Port Manatee.
“Logistec is proud to have been selected to partner with HRK to provide cargo-handling services at this strategically located port facility,” said Madeleine Paquin, president and CEO of Logistec Corporation. “This new customer allows us to expand the scope of products handled and will form the base for new bulk business in Port Manatee.”
The service is expected to begin this spring.
Logistec has been active in Port Manatee for more than five years. It handles both stevedoring and terminal operations for Del Monte’s fresh fruit, as well as other general and project cargo.
Logistec Corporation provides container, breakbulk and bulk cargo handling at 23 ports in Eastern Canada, the Great Lakes and the U.S. East Coast.
