A trucking company that filed for bankruptcy in 2023 has sold its Southington trucking terminal to a nearby construction company for $2.8 million.
Allan R. Heinke, president of Mohawk Northeast, is also principal of a limited liability company that bought a trucking terminal property from Kansas-based New Penn Motor Express LLC through a deed recorded by the town on July 11.
The trucking company filed for bankruptcy in 2023.
Heinke’s nearly 60-year-old construction company employs about 350 people performing bridge construction and other civil projects across New England and New York. The company, headquartered at 170 Canal St., had not been looking to purchase, but decided to acquire the New Penn property at 130 Canal St. for expansion space and to control who operates nearby, Heinke said.
“I didn’t need somebody else as a neighbor or have to buy something somewhere else,” Heinke said Wednesday.
Mohawk’s headquarters at 170 Canal St. include two warehouse buildings totaling 46,776 square feet on a 4.7-acre property. The property Heinke recently acquired includes a 19,972-square-foot, 1986-vintage truck terminal building with 14-foot wall heights on 5.3 acres.
Heinke said his company is already using the newly acquired property for storage of materials and equipment, as well as parking.
Christopher T. Metcalfe and Kyle Roberts of CBRE were the listing brokers for the property and secured the buyer.
