Fastfrate Group completes acquisition of Omnitrans after regulatory approval

Fastfrate Group says it has completed its acquisition of Omnitrans Inc. after receiving approval from the Competition Bureau Canada.

The company says the deal expands its service offering beyond North America into key global trade lanes, adding international freight forwarding and customs brokerage capabilities.

Omnitrans is known for its expertise in international freight forwarding and as a licensed Canadian and U.S. customs broker, with capabilities in regulatory compliance and tariff optimization. The addition of its operations, including offices in China, allows Fastfrate Group to support freight movement between Asia, Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Fastfrate Group operates 46 locations across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, providing intermodal, trucking, drayage, warehousing and final-mile delivery services. The company says the acquisition strengthens its ability to manage freight from international origin through customs clearance to final delivery within one network.

Omnitrans will operate as a standalone division within Fastfrate Group, retaining its leadership team while working with the company’s transportation and logistics operations.
