May 28, 2013<\/strong> \u2013 Global lead logistics provider, Odyssey Logistics, announced today that, through its affiliate, FoodTrans LLC, the company has acquired the bulk liquid food products transportation business of Palmetto, FL-based Hawaii Intermodal Tank Transport (HITT).\u00a0 HITT is a world-leading operator of intermodal tanks operating the largest fleet of double insulated and refrigerated ISO Tanks exclusively dedicated to moving food-grade products.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u201cIt is HITT\u2019s ability to deliver environmentally-responsible and sophisticated temperature controlled, high purity logistics solutions for road, rail and ocean transport that earned them the competitive edge and impressive growth that drew Odyssey’s attention,\u201d said Robert Shellman, Odyssey Logistics president and chief executive officer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As part of the transaction, Odyssey will acquire rights to the well-established Hawaii Intermodal Tank Transport brand.\u00a0 The new business will be integrated with the intermodal tank services of Odyssey\u2019s Optimodal business unit under the leadership of Greg Snyder, president of Optimodal, Inc. Following the acquisition, the seller will continue to provide exclusively aseptic transportation of food-grade products under the \u201cAsepTrans\u201d name.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Shellman said, \u201cWe are very happy to also announce that HITT\u2019s founder, Bahman Sadeghi, will join the Odyssey leadership team as we drive to increase business globally.\u201d Bahman added, \u201cWe are very excited about the additional capability that Odyssey brings, and my team looks forward to the accelerated growth this will deliver.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Odyssey\u2019s logistics network crosses North America, Europe and Asia, serves all transport modes, and moves $65 billion in cargo through 200,000 transportation lanes and 250 ports using its proprietary global technology platform to improve efficiency, reduce transportation costs, and provide the information that empowers logistics professionals\u2019 decision making.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Shellman expects Odyssey Logistics to complete additional acquisitions in 2013.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
