As the industry continues its move towards national versus regional coverage, choosing a partner who aligns with our core values and local focus was of the utmost importance” Said Nick Biagi, co-owner of Gorgo Group. Co-owner Bryan Kruysman Jr. echoed similar sentiments, stating “Joining such a great organization, that shares the same principles, will ensure we continue serving our communities and allow our employees to grow in their careers. We are looking forward to continued success within the North-East market.”
The addition of the Gorgo Group grows Kamps’ national presence to 45 asset-based locations across five regions. The additional assets, inventory, and systems will provide customers from both organizations in the region with a superior experience. The acquisition also allows Kamps to now reach more supply chains directly with its customer-centric approach to pallet solutions.
