Titanium Transportation Group Provides Muskoka Transport Integration Update


WOODBRIDGE, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 28, 2015) - Titanium Transportation Group Inc. ("Titanium" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TTR) is pleased to provide an operational update regarding the integration of Muskoka Transport Limited ("Muskoka").

Titanium completed the acquisition of Muskoka on March 1, 2015.

The following highlights operational improvements as a result of the Muskoka integration:

  • Modernized and integrated IT infrastructure including satellite and equipment monitoring, software customization and dispatch optimization
  • Outsourced maintenance facilities to Volvo effective June 1st, 2015
  • Increased revenue per mile due to improved utilization and customer synergies
  • Eliminated factoring costs effective August 1st, 2015 and reduced interest costs through Titanium's access to low cost financing
  • Increased sales with an existing Fortune 500 customer
  • Consolidated head office and regional offices
  • Replaced aging equipment including 30 trucks with new Volvo VNL 670's and more than 30 flatbed trailers

Mr. Ted Daniel, CEO of Titanium commented: "Our leading edge customized technology has allowed us to rapidly integrate Muskoka and implement the necessary changes to bring EBITDA margins in-line with the rest of our truckload division. Muskoka is now essentially fully integrated and we are actively pursuing additional acquisitions."
