CMC-ITI-CCS 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 United States. 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. 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. CMC-ITI has corporate offices in Chicago, Illinois, Charleston, South Carolina, and Liberty Corner, New Jersey, and field operations across major port and rail hubs in the Southeast, Midwest, and Northeast.

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 has rolled significant equity into the combined business and is committed to its long-term success.
