Northern Trailer part of Horizon North Logistics

Northern Trailer’s move to join Horizon North Logistics in November 2007 marked a very positive step for both companies – from a stronger platform of products and services to continued expansion into new markets – it was a win-win situation for both Northern Trailer and Horizon North Logistics, as well as their employees, clients, and suppliers. The move also provided Northern Trailer access to increased opportunities and investments in Kamloops, throughout Western Canada and beyond.

Northern Trailer’s operations continue to run business-as-usual without change to its management team, with Mark Brown remaining as President.
