AFC Transport recently relocated its AFC Logistics division to Florida’s Tampa area.
The company says it wants to grow its tech-enabled freight brokerage into a $300 million business within three years, and plans to hire up to 150 employees to accomplish that goal. AFC Logistics provides “freight solutions, industry experience, and trusted relationships” to more than 1,000 customers, including Fortune 500 companies, in the steel, construction, heavy equipment, consumer goods, and manufacturing industries.
AFC Logistics also offers a fleet of 50 refrigerated trucks.
“AFC Logistics is growing rapidly in service offerings and structure, and that expansion demands our constant and continuous endeavors to strategically scale our company,” said Kyle Ingraham, president of AFC Logistics. “Our growth includes providing more tech-enabled services for our customers and hiring great talent to service our customers.
“As we physically move to a temporary space in Downtown Tampa and finalize our new office for our corporate operating headquarters, we are excited about providing job opportunities for the declining skilled logistics talent in the area.”
AFC Logistics owners Kate and Steven Maly said they’re “thrilled” to expand operations in the Tampa community.
“Logistics operations has long been a target industry for the EDC and we’re excited to see AFC Logistics relocate its headquarters to Tampa,” said James Nozar, chair of the Tampa Bay Economic Development Council. “This is another great example of a company making the move to Tampa seeking a better business climate with a growing economy and access to the highly skilled talent it needs to support future growth.
The EDC team is proud to assist AFC Logistics with its relocation to Tampa and we look forward to welcoming its team to our community.”
