While NFI emphasizes the importance of precision in inventory management and distribution, its robust Canadian leadership team ensures unparalleled service across all service lines. In a recent 2023 Journal of Commerce survey, NFI received an outstanding Net Promoter Score of 90 for its asset and non-asset intermodal services, primarily managed throughout Canada. The recognition reflects the company’s focus on customer satisfaction and service levels. Notably, NFI excelled in equipment availability and on-time pickup and delivery.

NFI expanded its Canadian reach in 2016 with the acquisition of Dominion Warehousing, building on its already established presence. In 2022, the company made an investment that doubled its intermodal scale, increasing its Canadian assets to 500 owned dry and refrigerated intermodal containers. The acquisition of SDR in 2023 marked another significant milestone, doubling NFI’s Canadian distribution footprint and its team of supply chain experts.As it expands, NFI remains dedicated to delivering exceptional supply chain solutions and driving value for its North American partners.
