Carlton, MN – TKI, a family-owned company offering waste management and storage container solutions, is pleased to announce the acquisition of the container sales division of Don Dens Sales, a well-known name in the Carlton, MN area for over 30 years. The acquisition strengthens TKI’s ongoing efforts to serve more customers and provide reliable service throughout Minnesota.
Don Dens Sales’ container division has built a strong customer base and a reputation for dependable service in the Duluth region. By joining forces, TKI and Don Dens will offer customers more options, including a wider range of container sizes and styles, a larger rental fleet, and container modifications.
“It’s a natural fit, and ever since we moved into the area with the acquisition of Stor Mor in Moose Lake five years ago, we’ve always respected the strong local relationships Don Dens has built.” Said Tim Kraemer, TKI President. “We’re excited to take on their container business, allowing us to focus on expanding that side of our operation, while the Don Dens Sales team works on finalizing their new Carlton facility and further developing their trailer sales and service business—a true win-win.”
The Carlton location will continue to operate without interruption, with plans to integrate TKI’s systems and enhance service offerings in the coming months.
