SLC's Mesa buys moving assets of Mergenthaler

Mesa Moving and Storage, a privately held, Salt Lake City-based provider of moving, transportation and logistics services, has acquired another Salt Lake City moving company, Mergenthaler Transfer and Storage. Both companies are members of the UniGroup network of relocation companies.

Under the terms of the agreement, Mesa will acquire the Mergenthaler household goods hauling business and their moving business, including locations in Bozeman, Helena and Whitefish, Montana, as well as Salt Lake City. {mprestriction ids="1,3"}

“Partnering with Mergenthaler offers an outstanding opportunity for Mesa to add great people, increase our scale and capacity to better serve our customers across the Mountain States region,” said Kevin Head, CEO at Mesa.

The Mergenthaler offices in Montana will continue to operate, staffed by the same local management and teams. The Montana branches join Mesa’s current offices in Salt Lake City; Boise; Denver; and Grand Junction, Colorado. Mergenthaler’s Salt Lake City business operations will be merged into Mesa’s Salt Lake City branch location.

“Mesa’s acquisition of Mergenthaler allows us to expand our offices from four to seven and extends our coverage across the western states from Colorado, Utah and Idaho to now include Montana,” said Steven Elliott, chief financial officer of Mesa. “The addition of Mergenthaler’s hauling fleet will double Mesa’s current fleet of long-distance, owner-operator drivers and strengthen our operating position.”

Founded in 1981, Mesa Moving and Storage is a top 5 United agent in the U.S. Mesa specializes in household goods moving and relocation, office moving, warehouse storage and logistics management.{/mprestriction}
