Red Deer-based Peavey Industries LP has acquired long-term partner and fellow central Alberta business Guy’s Freightways.

“Today marks a historic moment for both Peavey Industries LP and Guy’s Freightways,” said Doug Anderson, CEO of Peavey Industries LP.

“By formalizing this symbiotic relationship, we are enhancing our operational efficiency while preserving Guy’s Freightways’ legacy. We look forward to continuing our growth journey together.”
