Fresh Del Monte’s Tricont Logistics sees growth, rebrands with new website
Miami-based Tricont Trucking & Logistics, the inland logistics arm of Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., has a new website.
The company has seen expansion over the last few years due to providing complete third-party logistics services, according to a news release. While Tricont’s biggest customer is Fresh Del Monte, the logistics company increasingly has been offering more of its top-tier services to others in need of varied logistics solutions, the release said.
“Fresh Del Monte has been relying on Tricont Trucking and Tricont Logistics for years, with great success, to move fresh produce on time and in full,” Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Fresh Del Monte’s chairman and CEO, said in the release. “In today’s world where logistics and shipping disruptions abound, we’re looking forward to offering our solutions to more people, giving them access to our robust, reliable distribution and logistics network. Tricont’s inland services complement our third-party ocean freight services provided by Network Shipping. Both serve as an example of our commitment toward asset optimization.”
With 70% of all goods in the U.S. moved by trucks, equal to $800 million in economic value, the trucking and logistics industry is poised to thrive, the release said.
Tricont provides intermodal, warehousing, managed services, and business analytics, as well as refrigerated and ambient LTL distribution, last-mile delivery and a dedicated contract carriage. The company serves North America with more than 30 distribution centers, almost 200 tractors, more than 10,000 reefer containers and nearly 2,000 chassis — with a 95% on-time delivery rate, according to the release.
“This is an exciting time for our business. As the logistics industry expands, we want to grow with it and become a logistics powerhouse in our own rite,” Rob Savage, president of Tricont Trucking and Tricont Logistics, said in the release. “We are now in a better position to achieve this with the new website and brand, as customers and drivers can more readily find information on our website.”
Recently, Mann Packing, Fresh Del Monte’s vegetable arm, began to leverage Tricont’s services as it expanded to the U.S. East Coast; Mann’s will now use Tricont’s North Carolina-based distribution center and trucking services to serve more customers, the release said. This partnership allows Mann’s to have a vertically integrated supply chain, so customers receive products that have a more optimized shelf life at a lower cost, according to the release.
