Calyx Transportation Group Launches New Freight Brokerage Company

Toronto – Calyx Transportation Group Inc., a leading provider of third party logistics and transportation services, has launched Hyphen Freight Brokerage Inc., a new operating subsidiary. As a North American freight broker, Hyphen facilitates the safe and efficient movement of freight anywhere in North America across multiple modes.

Hyphen is at the forefront of change in today’s freight brokerage market. The company is setting stringent standards by focusing on sustainability and investing in the most sophisticated technology, infrastructure and people.

“With the launch of Hyphen, we are setting rigorous standards for a transportation brokerage company,” says Mark Kummer, President of Hyphen. “Our approach to delivering brokerage services is multi-faceted. Service is not achieved through one element alone; it requires a set of standards that include best-in-class technology, the best people, and a vetted carrier base. All of these elements are what will differentiate Hyphen as a leader in the industry.”

Hyphen’s attention to detail meets the demands of every client across multiple industries – including Consumer Packaged Goods, Retail, Steel, Produce and Energy – and sets stringent standards in service excellence. The company is backed by the financial strength, transportation assets, best practices and more than 200 years of combined experience within the Calyx group of companies.

“Through our businesses, Calyx provides a customizable suite of transportation and logistics service offerings that allow us to service multiple segments of our clients’ supply chains. Our typical approach is to acquire companies that fill gaps in our current service offering. But as we explored the myriad of freight brokerages in the market today, we concluded that to set service standards that aligned with the other Calyx brands, we had to build a unique, original model. This led us to create Hyphen as what the future of today’s brokerage market will be,” adds Douglas J. Harrison, President, Calyx Transportation Group Inc.


Hyphen has established relationships with carriers throughout North America, ensuring that clients have access to a wide variety of equipment – including flatbed, temperature-controlled trucks, rail container and railcar equipment – to safely and efficiently transport freight to destinations within the U.S. and Canada, and for cross-border movements. Hyphen provides shippers with access to the broadest network of carriers and railroads, making it easy to move freight on demand.

While Hyphen’s focus is on addressing the truckload transportation needs of clients within the U.S. and from the U.S. into and across Canada, the company is backed by the assets and full range of transportation services provided by members of the Calyx Group, including ground, air and ocean transportation.
