Chipman Relocation & Logistics Acquires Olsen & Fielding Moving Services

 

Chipman Relocation & Logistics, a full-service moving,
storage and logistics company, is pleased to announce the
acquisition of Olsen & Fielding Moving Services in
Sacramento, CA.
Olsen & Fielding provided professional moving solutions to
residential and corporate customers, as well as the U.S.
Department of Defense (DoD). Founded in 1952 under the
name National Transfer and Storage, the company
rebranded as Olsen & Fielding Moving Services in 1988.
“During that time, Olsen & Fielding continued to set

themselves apart from other companies with each customer-
centric relocation they performed,” says Justin Chipman,

President and Chairman of the Board at Chipman Relocation
& Logistics.
“Like Chipman, Olsen and Fielding has a rich history,” he
adds. “Culturally, it’s a synergistic fit for both companies, as
we share common core values and a deep-rooted understanding of operating as a growth-oriented family-
owned business.” The Chipman family looks forward to welcoming the talented members of Olsen & Fielding into
our organization.

Olsen & Fielding will be under the management of industry veteran Edward Melton. Edward will blend the Olsen & Fielding team into his existing 25 person team in the Natomas area of Sacramento.  The combined companies will give Chipman 145,000 sq ft of warehousing in Sacramento and daily capacity of over 50 crews.

 

About Chipman

Chipman Relocation & Logistics began in 1939 when Arthur &
Dorothy Chipman started Chipman Moving & Storage in
Vallejo, California. A multi-generational family business, the
company has continued to expand through the years. Today,
Chipman operates multiple locations throughout the West
Coast, and is a shareholder agent of Unigroup, Inc., the
largest household goods transportation company in North
America.
The acquisition of Olsen and Fielding will provide Chipman
with wide access to one of the most recognizable names in
moving–Mayflower Transit–in the Sacramento
market. Chipman says the acquisition will also allow
Chipman Relocation & Logistics to better serve agent partners
and clients with additional capacity, warehouse space, and
customer facing resources.
“Together, we will make an impact by having a stronger team
with increased capacity, while maintaining the singular goal
of providing our collective customers with a remarkable
experience every step of the way—everyday,” says Justin
Chipman.
