by Today's Trucking

The Erb Group, based in New Hamburg, Ont., is celebrating its 65th anniversary this June. The company was founded by Vernon Erb in 1959. He passed the reins to his son Wendell in 2011.

The Erb Group maintains a strong family culture and has grown with support from local farmers and businesses requiring cold chain solutions.

“Our commitment to supporting our community mirrors the support they’ve given us,” said Wendell Erb, president and CEO.

The company has won awards for safety and been recognized by Trucking HR Canada, the Best Fleets to Drive For program, and the Women in Trucking Association. Recently, the company received the 2024 Purpose Award from the Transportation, Marketing and Sales Association.

Erb highlighted the company’s strength. “I think it’s driven by the exceptional quality of our people. They’re not just committed and hardworking; they stay engaged and hands-on with every aspect of our operations,” he said. “The synergy between our dedicated employees, reliable suppliers, and loyal clients has created a fantastic team that fuels our continued excellence, and we’re just getting started.”
