Imlach Group

What Imlach Group does

Imlach Group is a privately held, family-owned moving and logistics company operating since 1924 from its headquarters in Trenton, Michigan, with a second office in Dallas, Texas. The company provides residential moving (local, long-distance, international, government, and specialty), commercial and office/industrial relocations, and an expanding set of logistics services including FF&E, warehousing and distribution, hotel/hospitality projects, museum and fine art transportation, IOMI-certified electronics/IT shipping, and tradeshow/exhibit logistics. It generates revenue through per-move binding or hourly pricing for residential customers, project-based fees for commercial relocations, and recurring managed-services contracts for enterprise logistics clients, with the Atlas Van Lines interstate-agent relationship extending its geographic reach nationwide and internationally.

Customer acquisition combines a self-serve website quote funnel and a Move Concierge concierge sales motion with channel-driven leads sourced from Atlas Van Lines and corporate relocation partners (Cartus, Aires, Sterling Lexicon, Grabel). The operational technology stack is primarily service-delivery oriented rather than software-licensed: it includes guaranteed binding estimates, an in-house Tracker mobile app for photo-based inventory, IOMI-certified handling protocols for electronics, and Yembo AI-powered video-survey estimates for quote generation. The company's defensibility rests on a century of brand history, a dense stack of industry certifications, tenured specialty labor (fine art and tradeshow specialists), and its Top-5 standing within the Atlas Van Lines agent network rather than on proprietary technology.

Ownership remains within the Imlach family following Ken Imlach's retirement in June 2026 after 55 years; Gregg Imlach serves as Owner/CEO and Grant Imlach as Operations Manager. The company is structured as Imlach Group/AWGI LLC, holds FMCSA licensing (U.S. DOT No. 125550) and GSA CHAMP approval, and reports 51-100 employees across its two offices.

Broad incumbents

• Allied Van Lines: Established national van line with comparable corporate relocation, international, and household-goods services through an agent network. Directly comparable on multi-service residential and commercial relocations and on the Atlas/United-style affiliate-agent structure.
• Bekins Van Lines: National household-goods and commercial relocation carrier with an agent network similar in structure to Atlas. Comparable on long-distance residential moves, corporate relocation, and government accounts.
• North American Van Lines: National van line offering residential, corporate, government, and international moves through agent and direct branches. Comparable to Imlach in covering the same customer types (households, enterprises, government) with a network-driven service model.
• Atlas Van Lines: National van line and the parent/interstate-agent network Imlach operates within. Atlas coordinates long-distance and international household-goods moves and routes corporate relocation volume to agents like Imlach, making it the most direct comparable for Imlach's core network-dependent operating model.
• United Van Lines: Major national household-goods carrier with an interstate-agent network model parallel to Atlas. Comparable in delivering residential, corporate, and international relocations through certified local agents — directly competes for enterprise relocation RFPs and government/military HHG contracts.

Regional players

• Cord Moving and Storage: Midwest-based Atlas agent offering residential, commercial, and warehouse logistics out of St. Louis. Closest regional peer to Imlach's Michigan footprint, competing for Atlas-routed corporate relocation and household-goods volume in the Midwest.

Direct peers

• Two Men and a Truck: National franchise-based residential and commercial moving brand with comparable local moving, packing, and specialty services (including senior moving programs). Direct competitor for residential customers in Imlach's Detroit and Dallas service areas.
• Hilldrup Moving & Storage: United Van Lines agent with comparable residential, commercial, and government/military services and similar multi-generational, multi-decade operator profile. Comparable in scope (local + long-distance + international + warehousing) and customer mix.
• Graebel Companies: Corporate relocation and household-goods carrier with direct operations and partner-network model. Mentioned as Imlach's partner (Preferred Grabel Partner); directly comparable on enterprise relocation, commercial move management, and government/military services.

Emerging players

• Craters & Freighters: National specialty logistics provider for fragile, high-value, and oversized items including electronics, trade-show exhibits, and fine art — directly comparable to Imlach's museum, electronics, and trade-show logistics lines. Useful peer for benchmarking Imlach's specialty-vertical economics.
