Team PRP, a cooperative network of independently owned automotive recyclers, proudly announces the acquisition of Midwest Automotive Trucking from its owner, Karl Milliron. This strategic move underscores Team PRP’s commitment to providing exceptional service, enhanced value, long-term stability to its members, and leadership in the recycling industry.
Team PRP Executive Director, Jarret Hann, stated:
“Midwest Automotive Trucking has long been a vital partner in transporting recycled automotive parts efficiently and reliably. By transitioning ownership to Team PRP, our cooperative will have greater control over this critical aspect of operations, fostering streamlined processes, improved service delivery, and cost-effectiveness for all members.”
Dan Snyder, Chairman of Team PRP, highlighted the significance of the acquisition:
“This purchase represents a major milestone for Team PRP and its members. By bringing Midwest Automotive Trucking under our direct control, we are able to ensure seamless transportation services tailored to meet the unique needs of our member recyclers. This acquisition empowers Team PRP to further its mission of delivering consistent quality and efficient logistics solutions across our network.”
Snyder elaborated on the broader benefits of this acquisition:
“Team PRP’s structure as a legally formed cooperative ensures that our actions are always guided by the best interests of our members. This purchase allows us to maximize operational benefits while limiting individual member liability. It’s a win-win for everyone involved, as it enhances our ability to support members’ businesses and strengthens the cooperative as a whole.”
The acquisition of Midwest Automotive Trucking aligns with Team PRP’s strategic vision of uniting top-tier independent automotive recyclers under a shared banner of excellence.
Karl Milliron, owner of Midwest Automotive Trucking, expressed confidence in the transition:
“I’m excited to see Midwest Automotive Trucking become part of Team PRP. Since our trading networks merged in April 2023, we have been successfully working as a unified front, and this second phase of Team PRP taking ownership ensures long-term continuity while maintaining the high standards our customers and partners have come to expect.”
As Team PRP takes this next step forward, Jarret Hann will take on added responsibilities as President of Team PRP’s trucking association. Hann stated:
“I share the Board of Directors optimism for this new chapter in Team PRP’s history. I also recognize Karl Milliron’s outstanding contributions to the industry, his commitment to acting with integrity and always striving to do the right thing. Team PRP will build upon the legacy that he and his committed team of Midwest employees have worked hard to create.”
