Bangor trucking company Hartt Transportation has been sold to a Canadian firm, marking an end to 73 years of local ownership of the business.

Winnipeg, Manitoba-based trucking company Bison Transport, a subsidiary of Canadian corporation James Richardson & Sons, Limited, announced on Monday that it had acquired 100 percent of Hartt Transportation, effective Dec. 31, 2021.

Financial details of the transaction were not made public.

The sale comes six years after Hartt made a major investment in Auburn with a new $5.3 million terminal.

It’s the latest example of a national buyer acquiring a family-owned business in the Bangor area.
