Arpin International Group has announced the acquisition of Stephens Moving Services of Cape Coral, Florida, USA.

The long-standing company specialises in servicing United States/Canada cross-border moves for private residential customers. Arpin says the acquisition will facilitate the continued growth of its transportation management services in North America.

Peter Arpin, President of Arpin International Group said, “Arpin is excited about its continued expansion into Canada. The United States and Canada are each other’s largest trading partners, representing $125M in cross-border moves annually. The acquisition of Stephens Moving Services enables Arpin to provide its world class moving services and bonded warehouses to major Canadian markets, especially in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec. Arpin’s long-term growth strategy includes maintaining a diversified portfolio. This acquisition allows us to establish a stronger foothold in the highly competitive cross-border private residential market.”

Tom Stephens, President of Stephens Moving Services commented, “After more than 45 years servicing United States/Canada cross-border relocations, I cannot think of a better partnership for our clients and customers than Arpin International Group.”

Tom Stephens will work with Arpin’s management team to facilitate a smooth and successful transition.
