KAG Canada acquires Fisher Transport

KAG Canada announced it has acquired Fisher Transport Inc, a Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia-based company specialising in liquid bulk transportation.

The company is the largest milk transporter in Atlantic Canada hauling over 200 million litres of raw milk annually.

The acquisition solidifies KAG Canada’s coast-to-coast footprint while creating a new partnership with dairy farmers and producers, complementing KAG’s Food Products platform. Fisher also specialises in hauling other food-grade products, chemicals, and non-food grade bulk commodities, which further strengthens KAG Canada’s broad service offering across numerous end markets.

“I am pleased the Fisher team will join KAG Canada, who share the same values, commitment to customer service and recognition of our specialised team who have been instrumental in achieving our success,” said Ken MacDonald, CEO of Fisher Transport. “I look forward to the opportunities that will emerge for the Fisher group of companies and for the valued members of our team by joining KAG, the industry leader in bulk transportation.”

As part of the transaction, Jordan MacDonald, President and Charlie Eisener, CFO, will remain in Senior Leadership roles with the company.

KAG Canada will also welcome approximately 60 professional drivers and 15 operational and administrative members to their team and grow their fleet by 60 tractors and 70 specialised trailers. Fisher operates out of three locations within Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador.
