Quad-C Management Announces Investment in Armstrong Transport Group

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Quad-C Management, Inc. ("Quad-C"), a leading middle market private equity firm, today announced its investment in Armstrong Transport Group ("Armstrong" or the "Company"), a leading logistics platform that operates primarily through an independent agent network to connect commercial shippers with full truckload (FTL) heavy-haul, flatbed, temperature-controlled, and less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
