CMC-ITI
Provider of repair and depot services for marine container and chassis
CMC-ITI is a leading provider of repair, maintenance, inspection and storage services for marine containers and chassis. These services support the efficient flow of containerized freight across the US. The Company’s offering is driven by a highly trained workforce; long-standing relationships across multiple constituents (including steamship lines, ports, railroads, chassis providers and labor); and a sterling track record of service established over multiple decades. The Company was formed through the combination of three founder owned businesses: ITI Intermodal (“ITI”), Marine Repair Services – Container Maintenance Corporation (“CMC”), and Columbia Container Services (“Columbia”), each of which is a leader within its respective geography. CMC-ITI has corporate offices in Chicago, IL, Charleston, SC, and Liberty Corner, NJ, and field operations across major port and rail hubs in the Southeast, Midwest, and Northeast. The common denominator for each company is a shared heritage of long-term family ownership and management providing best-in-class services measured by quality and reliability.
The investment was completed on a direct basis in partnership with each company’s respective founders (Vince Marino at CMC, Josh Cooley at ITI, and Bruce Fenimore at Columbia). Each of the founders have rolled significant equity into the combined business and are committed to its long-term success.
