Taking a major step to expand its last-mile home delivery capabilities, Concord, N.C.-based Cardinal Logistics Management Corp., a provider of freight transportation and logistics services, announced last month that it has acquired Stough-ton, Mass.-based last-mile delivery specialist NRX Logistics. Cardinal officials said this acquisition would double the number of last-mile deliveries it does on an annual basis, from 550,000 to 1.1 million. The primary customers historically served by NRX have been furniture retailers, appliance retailers, appliance manufacturers, and bedding retailers. "This acquisition is part of Cardinal's growing commitment to serving the last-mile space and providing the marketplace with a full-service delivery alternative for every type of big and bulky product," said Cardinal chairman Vin McLoughlin. "In addition to complementing the kinds of heavy goods we already deliver, it significantly expands our ability to perform complex last-mile services like white glove, product assembly and installation." |
