The BC Lower Mainland represents a strong and growing opportunity for Bison Transport and today the company is
pleased to announce the acquisition of a “turn key” trucking terminal located in Langley, BC.
The centrally located 20,310 square foot facility is located on 6.15 acres in the northwest Langley industrial area and
adjoins Port Kells and Surrey. The size and nature of the purchase will see Bison share the facility with another trucking
operation for at least the first 12 months, with room for other potential tenancy arrangements ongoing.
Trevor Fridfinnson, VP of Western Operations states “This purchase represents a leap forward in Bison’s presence in the
BC region and most importantly, a strong base by which to better serve and grow with our clients, as well as our driving
and non-driving staff alike.”
The key details of the acquisition are as follows:
- 6.15 acre property in NW Langley
