CANADIAN PACIFIC AND CONSOLIDATED FASTFRATE SIGN 10-YEAR $500 MILLION MILESTONE AGREEMENT
TORONTO — Canadian Pacific (TSX/NYSE: CP) and Consolidated Fastfrate (CFF) today announced a
new $500 million agreement that extends their existing contract for an additional 10 years. This
agreement brings the CP and CFF partnership to a fifty year milestone; 1966-2016.
“The strategic relationship we have with CP, which exists at every level of their organization, has
been the foundation upon which we built our company,” said Ron Tepper, President and CEO of CFF. “I
am incredibly proud to sign an agreement of this magnitude. Our long-term partnership illustrates
that two companies can co-operate to increase efficiencies and provide a better product to their
customers.”
CP and CFF have a historic partnership that dates back to 1966. The two companies made intermodal
history when they embarked on a national co-location program. CFF’s decision to build all
its centres adjacent to CP intermodal terminals has helped both organizations achieve remarkable
success in the intermodal transportation industry.
These co-location facilities provide significant service and cost efficiencies that are key to both
CFF and CP’s intermodal growth. CFF is the only LTL carrier in the country to have the strategic
advantage of co-location with CP.
“Over the past forty years we have seen the incredible growth and development of the intermodal
industry, from a minor mode of transportation to a multi-billion dollar global business,” said Fred
Green, President and CEO of Canadian Pacific. “This is an important business for CP, and CFF has
been a strategic intermodal partner from the start. With this 10-year extension to our agreement,
and continued strong global demand for our services, there are great growth opportunities for both
CFF and CP.”
Together, CFF and CP offer shippers the ability to combine the long-haul efficiency of railway
transportation with the speed and convenience of a dock-to-dock carrier. CFF and CP understand the
demands of LTL customers. While CP depends on CFF to provide seamless LTL service, freight
consolidation, deconsolidation, warehousing and transshipping, CFF relies on CP to provide safe and
reliable rail-based intermodal service across Canada and around the world.
