Ryder System (CCJ Top 250, No. 14) said Wednesday it will acquire Midwest Warehouse & Distribution System, a Woodridge, Illinois-based provider of warehousing, distribution and transportation solutions primarily for food, beverage and consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies.
Midwest operates nine multi-client and eight dedicated-customer warehouses in five regions, primarily in the greater Chicago area, but also New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas. Midwest’s warehouse space totals approximately 7 million square feet and is supported by a company-owned fleet of trucks.
