AIT Worldwide Logistics Acquires Krupp Trucking

Deal Includes Fleet of Over 60 Trucks and St. Louis Facility

AIT Worldwide Logistics has acquired Krupp Trucking, a St. Louis-based company that specializes in transporting high-value goods. This acquisition adds to AIT’s capabilities, particularly in handling shipments requiring extra care, such as those in the technology sector.

With more than 26 years of experience, Krupp Trucking has built a reputation for dependable service. It moves about 5.5 million pounds of goods annually, using air, ocean, and road transport. Now, as part of AIT, it brings this expertise into a larger global network.

The deal includes a 115,000-square-foot office and warehouse facility in Earth City, Missouri, just outside St. Louis. The facility provides both office space and storage. The acquisition also includes Krupp’s fleet of more than 60 tractor-trailers.

All of Krupp Trucking’s employees have joined AIT as part of the agreement. Operations have already begun under the new name, AIT-St. Louis. 

Krupp Trucking founder Scott Krupp will continue with the company, taking on the role of city director for AIT-St. Louis. His leadership will help maintain stability and ensure the smooth integration of the two companies.

AIT Worldwide Logistics, headquartered in Chicago, is a global freight forwarder with a presence in over 150 locations across North America, Europe, and Asia. Its services include managing complex supply chains and offering tailored solutions for industries like technology, healthcare, and retail.

The acquisition has greatly strengthened AIT’s position in the logistics market, particularly in sectors that demand specialized handling. With its focus on innovation and customer satisfaction, the company aims to offer more comprehensive solutions for clients around the world. It’s not a one-sided narrative that benefits only a single party. The integration of Krupp Trucking into AIT’s operations also provides opportunities for growth and development for both teams.

By leveraging their expertise and resources, Lading Logistics aims to provide efficient and reliable international shipping and logistics solutions for their clients.
