555 Announces the Acquisition of MHX by Union Pacific Corporation (UNP)

Logistics & Supply Chain Management for Rail-based Freight Transport

555 Capital is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of MHX Holdings, LLC. 555 Capital acted as MHX's exclusive financial advisor on this transaction.

MHX is a fully integrated logistics and supply chain management company for last/first-mile rail-based freight transport. The Company performs transloading, transportation, warehousing, port, and drayage services for corporate and institutional customers.

Based in Carson, CA, the Company services multiple commodity industries through a network of strategically located terminals in California.

Supporting its services is MHX’s in-house developed, award-winning supply chain software system “Transload Pro,” a Web-based portal and the only system on the market providing a seamless single information source for all operations from rail inbound to truck outbound, including inventory management and live load transit tracking.

Prior to the transaction, MHX was a fourth-generation family-owned and managed company. This transaction was the most significant operating company acquisition for Union Pacific in decades. MHX will continue to operate on a standalone basis with existing management continuing in place.

“555 prepared and positioned our company very well for the multiple buyer discussions they initiated and directed. The result was the perfect buyer at the perfect time.”​

- Rick McLeod, CEO​
