Transforce increased revenues by 9% in the fourth quarter to $456.8 million compared with $418.8 million a year earlier.

“The fourth quarter of 2006 saw TransForce add to our current capabilities with new acquisitions, while increasing our focus by divesting a non-core part of our business,” said TransForce president and CEO, Alain Bdard, attributed the increase in fourth quarter revenue to the companys significant acquisitions and continued strong results from existing subsidiaries.
