Mixed emotions mark the sale of 88-year-old MacKinnon
GUELPH, ON - Size and human resources issues were behind the recent sale of MacKinnon Transport to Contrans Group, that took just 24 days from handshake to final close. Former president and CEO of MacKinnon Transport, Evan MacKinnon, says the company was doing well, but couldn't overcome some of the challenges associated with their size, forcing them to choose to grow, or sell the family business.
