TopHAT is a $50 million full service logistics company that specializes in retail home delivery. The company oversees the delivery, transportation and warehousing operations for many leading retailers. Similar to Atlas, the company’s mission is centered around customer service for its clients’ unique needs.
"Atlas is gaining a home delivery network that immediately strengthens our portfolio," said Jack Griffin, chairman and CEO of Atlas World Group. “TopHAT presents a competitive and scalable solution for ecommerce that is both complementary to our existing suite of products and is immediately accretive to Atlas® World Group’s performance around the world.”
“We are excited to join the Atlas® World Group family,” said Steve Trensch, a founding partner of TopHAT Logistical Solutions. “Atlas gives us limitless potential for growth given its robust logistics offering, brand power, and renowned industry reputation. It’s a story of small business meets big business, and our employees and customers will undoubtedly experience the benefits.”
According to the global business data platform Statista Inc., the last mile delivery market in North America was sized at $31.25 billion in 2018, and it is expected to grow to just under $51 billion in 2022. With the TopHAT acquisition, Atlas is gaining a home delivery network that will allow for expanded services and the ability to capitalize on a booming market. There will also be meaningful opportunities for the Atlas agency network to provide warehousing, final mile delivery and labor services to TopHAT.
