According to www.greenbaypressgazette.com, De Pere–based AmeriLux Transportation & Logistics acquired Green Bay–based Dedicated Systems Inc. in June 2026 — a move that adds about 30 employees and positions the company to scale from regional to national freight hauling.
Acquisition adds capacity and operational base
AmeriLux acquired Dedicated Systems Inc., a 35-year-old national freight hauler founded in 1991 by the Hintz family. The company operates from its 20-acre facility at 3700 Elmview Road in the Town of Ledgeview, Brown County — located just off Interstate 43. Under the terms of the acquisition, approximately 30 Dedicated Systems employees transitioned to AmeriLux, and the Ledgeview site became AmeriLux Transportation & Logistics’ new base of operations.
MJ Hintz, vice president of Dedicated Systems Inc., stated:
“We are ecstatic for our team and customers with the acquisition by AmeriLux. Both companies are people- and relationship-oriented, which makes this a great combination.” — MJ Hintz, vice president, Dedicated Systems Inc.
She added that combining Dedicated Systems’ 35 years of industry experience with AmeriLux’s culture and vision creates strong forward momentum.
Strategic maintenance partnership with Airoldi Brothers
Concurrently, AmeriLux formed a strategic partnership with Airoldi Brothers Inc., Wisconsin’s largest independent truck leasing company. As part of the agreement, Airoldi Brothers relocated its existing Green Bay area maintenance operations from Commodity Lane in Ashwaubenon to the Dedicated Systems site in Ledgeview. The company also retained 13 repair and maintenance workers formerly employed by Dedicated Systems.
Airoldi Brothers operates eight service centers across Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota, offering full-service leasing, commercial rentals, and fleet maintenance. Jim Airoldi, co-president of Airoldi Brothers Truck Leasing, said:
“By expanding our maintenance operations in Green Bay, we’re able to provide even greater support, efficiency and responsiveness to [AmeriLux’s] fleet.” — Jim Airoldi, co-president, Airoldi Brothers Truck Leasing
He emphasized that the collaboration reflects both firms’ shared commitment to operational excellence and dependable customer solutions.
Workforce, fleet, and service expansion
Prior to the acquisition, AmeriLux Transportation employed 85 drivers and 8 office personnel. With the addition of about 30 Dedicated Systems employees, its total workforce grew to nearly 125 people. Across the broader AmeriLux Family of Companies — which includes AmeriLux International, American Polycarbonate Company, Shape Products, and EZ PVC — employment will exceed 400 people following the June 2026 announcements.
The acquisition significantly broadens AmeriLux’s service scope: it transitions the business from a regional, dedicated service provider to a national freight hauler capable of handling specialized, flatbed, and oversized freight. Kurt Voss, CEO of the AmeriLux Family of Companies, affirmed that the moves strengthen infrastructure and talent:
“The acquisition of Dedicated Systems brings exceptional talent and specialized capabilities to our organization, and our partnership with Airoldi Brothers strengthens the full-service infrastructure we need to support continued growth. Together, we are well-positioned to serve customers at a higher level across the country.” — Kurt Voss, CEO, AmeriLux Family of Companies
Broader corporate context
AmeriLux Transportation functions as a full-service provider covering freight transportation, brokerage, and warehousing — one division within the diversified AmeriLux Family of Companies. Its sister businesses include AmeriLux International, a value-added distributor and fabricator of building materials and plastic sheets; American Polycarbonate Company, a polycarbonate sheet manufacturer; Shape Products, producer of window wells and covers; and EZ PVC, a designer and distributor of polyvinyl chloride components. All operations are headquartered in De Pere, Wisconsin, reinforcing the company’s Midwest roots amid national expansion.
