Armstrong Relocation acquires Humboldt movers

Armstrong Relocation & Companies, an industry-leading provider of moving, relocation and supply chain solutions and United Van Lines’ largest U.S. hauler, has acquired Humboldt Storage & Moving, a United Van Lines agency headquartered on New Boston Drive in Canton.

Coupled with its recent acquisition of MacDonald’s Moving Services in Greater Boston, Armstrong now operates as one of the largest moving companies in Boston and the Northeast.

“Humboldt has been a highly regarded company throughout the industry for many years and our family has had tremendous respect for the business they have operated,” said Todd Watson, CEO of Armstrong Relocation & Companies. “We look forward to building on that success by leveraging our collective strengths in the marketplace.”

Howard Goldman, Humboldt CEO and third-generation owner, said, “I am excited to transfer 118 years of family ownership of the Humboldt Companies from the Goldman family to the Armstrong family.vIt’s comforting to know that our family legacy, Humboldt team, and valued customers are in great hands and that there are many wonderful opportunities ahead.”

Humboldt President James Sullivan will now serve as CEO alongside current President Mark McEwen. “This collaboration of moving industry leaders presents significant opportunities, not only in greater Boston and New England but also far beyond that,” said Sullivan. “The combined expertise not only in residential moving but in office relocations, the relocation of laboratory and life sciences companies, trade shows and special commodities, creates the definition of a full-service moving company. We are excited about being a part of the Armstrong family of companies and providing our customers an even higher level of service.”

Humboldt is now a subsidiary of Armstrong Relocation Company, Massachusetts, LLC, with consolidation expected later this year.

Humboldt Storage and Moving was founded in 1905 and is greater Boston’s oldest moving company and largest United Van Lines agent. With its 135,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art, climate-controlled storage facility, Humboldt serves the needs of clients with more long-term needs. For more information, visit Humboldt.com.

Armstrong Relocation, a family-owned company, was founded as a single operating company based in Memphis, Tennessee in 1957 and has since grown to include 32 owned-locations, over 400 drivers, 1,400 employees and more than three million square feet of warehouse space.
