Unbelievably… Mullen is nearing its 20th year as a public company. Over these past two decades we have enjoyed tremendous success, endured many challenges and made our share of mistakes along the way. Through it all we have always remained true to the values instilled by our founder – Roland Mullen. These are: HONESTY, TRUST, RESPECT and INTEGRITY. They have served our organization well for over 60 years and will remain an integral part of our organization for the decades that follow. 

OUR MISSION GUIDES OUR ORGANIZATION

Recognizing that growth is the heartbeat of all successful organizations, Mullen has set a high bar. Shareholders expect it, and growth is the reason that Mullen is a publicly-traded company. Our employees need it – not just for their jobs, but for the challenge, the opportunity for growth, and of course the potential for monetary gain – all requisites of the entrepreneurial spirit. Our customers also demand growth and if you do not, cannot or will not grow with them, they simply move on to your competitor. At Mullen Group we have endorsed growth as a cornerstone of our organization. We are constantly on the lookout for new opportunities, regardless of whether they are organic – driven internally by our existing business units – or through acquisitions of competing or complementary businesses. In fact acquisitions are where Mullen excels. Not only have they provided the real growth for our organization, they have provided the platform for entry to new markets, new service offerings and of course a lot of talented people. As stated in our Mission – Acquiring companies is the genesis of our growth.

However, growth just for the sake of growth is simply not enough. This explains why our organization constantly Strives to Improve Performance in all aspects of our business. From this perspective, the Mullen Group has one standard, and that standard is Excellence in Everything That We Do. This standard is reflected in our winning and recognized quality program that is branded On The Road To Quality. The program provides the road map on how to achieve Excellence in Safety and Superior Profitability – the two most important elements of our business. It recognizes the importance of setting a high standard and then empowering our people. The journey never ends, but it is definitely worth the effort.

THE STRENGTH OF OUR COMPANY IS THE INDEPENDENT BUSINESS UNIT

Today, Mullen is one of Canada’s largest organizations, generating annual revenues in excess of $1.2 billion and providing employment as well as opportunity to over 5,300 employees and independent owner operators. We have a market capitalization in the $1.5 billion range and we pay a healthy $1 per share annual dividend to our shareholders.

Our business is derived from two important sectors of the economy – the transportation and handling of freight throughout North America and the servicing of the energy industry. We operate our business through a network of 27 independent business units, each of which is accountable for its own performance. Each business unit is led by a management team that is entrusted with overseeing the day-to-day business operations as well as to working as partners with employees to enhance and grow their BRAND in the markets they serve.

The role of Mullen Group is simple. We work closely with each business unit, providing capital, business oversight, and some key shared services – areas of the business that can lever Mullen’s size and expertise. This is a business model that has allowed our organization to grow and prosper since 1993 and one that we believe will continue to provide the best opportunity for employees and shareholders.
