ADL Final Mile Expands Its Reach

Omaha, Nebraska, December 18, 2024 - In a significant move to enhance its logistical capabilities, RD Last Mile Holdings, LLC, known as ADL Final Mile, has officially acquired Henry Industries, Inc., a leading provider of customized final mile logistics solutions. Henry Industries operates primarily across several states, including Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

This acquisition marks the fourth strategic enhancement for ADL Final Mile, reinforcing its commitment to expanding its services throughout the Midwest and South-Central regions of the United States. ADL Final Mile’s CEO, Monte O'Hara, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "Henry Industries represents an excellent addition to our network, both in terms of strategic fit and cultural alignment. Our goal continues to be densifying our services in the regions we already serve while reaching out to new customers."

With the integration of Henry Industries into ADL Final Mile's operational structure, existing infrastructures in Missouri and Kansas will see a notable expansion, promising heightened service capabilities for both current and prospective clients. Cathy Taylor, the President of ADL Final Mile’s Midwest Region, celebrated the merger, stating, “We are incredibly fortunate to welcome the executive leadership team from Henry Industries, which includes Breck Nickell, Eric Dexter, and Kristian Carter, to the ADL family. Their commitment to exceptional service aligns perfectly with our values.”

Breck Nickell, now President of the joint operations, expressed his optimism about the future. He noted, “We’ve had a longstanding professional relationship with the ADL team, and it’s reassuring to know our core values are shared. The commitment to high-quality service and customer-centric approaches make this transition seamless for our employees and customers alike.”

ADL Final Mile is not just focusing on internal growth. The company aims to be the preferred partner for logistics and delivery entrepreneurs looking for growth opportunities or a smooth business transition. This ambition has been supported by a partnership with Red Dog Equity LLC, a private equity firm situated in Atlanta. Through collaborations with Monroe Capital LLC and the Pritzker family's business interests, ADL Final Mile is poised to leverage significant equity capital for future acquisitions.

Founded in 2022 after merging two companies, ADL Delivery and Capital Express, ADL Final Mile delivers a comprehensive range of logistics services like final mile parcel delivery, customized logistics, warehousing, and distribution, particularly focusing on operations in the Midwest and Southeast. The company is actively seeking further acquisition opportunities to bolster its positioning.
