No one has been busier this year than Bob Heniff.
The Heniff Transportation Systems founder and CEO last week welcomed Weinrich Truck Line to the Heniff group only a few hours after his growing family of companies revealed the acquisition of the Hagen Johnson Group. Heniff also expanded transload and depot services in the ports of Charleston and New Orleans, and went international with the purchase of TechnoPort in The Netherlands—all in the last five months.
Weinrich is an Iowa-based food-grade fleet with a two-bay kosher tank wash, which Heniff plans to incorporate into its food-grade network.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“We’re very pleased to welcome our new teammates from Weinrich,” Bob Heniff said in a news release. “Our growing food-grade operation and its many customers will benefit greatly from this complementary addition to our service network. We’ll also benefit greatly from the many years of industry experience that Donna Weinrich and her family offer the Heniff family of companies.”
Weinrich traces its roots to 1919, when Sam Weinrich operated a drayage service. Weinrich Truck Line started in 1960 and moved to its current Hinton location in 1980, when the company began hauling food-grade bulk products.
The company has 35 power units, according to an FMCSA notice.
“Our team is pleased to join forces with an industry leader like Heniff,” said Brenda Dittmer, Weinrich vice president. “Heniff’s organization shares the same fundamental commitment to safety and service that our company was built upon over 60 years ago by my parents. Our two companies share the same values when it comes to our professional drivers and our customers. We look forward to working with the Heniff team as we continue to build upon the Weinrich legacy.”
