The Pickands Mather Group is dedicated to providing logistics and support services as well as purchasing, sales, and marketing services for the coal, manufacturing, steel, utility industries, and others using coal and other bulk commodities. PM designs and manages logistical solutions for bulk commodity movements with the practical support to service these solutions. Through its affiliates, PM provides purchasing, sales, and marketing services to those producing, selling, or buying coal. All efforts are carefully catalogued and reported to our clients through our affiliation with Match Tracks, a proprietary, web-based database management service. PM brings experience and a keen understanding of bulk commodity logistics, mining, production, purchasing, and sales. We specialize in logistics support for the movement of bulk commodities by rail, vessel, barge, and truck. We also provide experience and expertise in both Canadian and U.S. Customs automated carrier clearance systems. Founded from a rich tradition dating back to the formation of Pickands Mather & Co in 1893, Pickands Mather Group was established in 1992 as part of a management-led acquisition of the Coal Sales and Lake Forwarding businesses then owned by Cliffs Natural Resources. The acquisition provided a solid base for preserving and growing our business.
