UFA Co-operative is proud to announce the official opening of its newest Petroleum Cardlock, located in Saskatchewan's Global Transportation Hub (GTH) on the western edge of Regina. The grand opening event, held this morning, brought together UFA leadership, government representatives, local stakeholders, and members of the commercial transportation and agri-business sectors, to celebrate this exciting milestone.
This new Cardlock reinforces UFA's commitment to serving Saskatchewan's growing commercial and agricultural sectors. As an inland port authority, the GTH is designed to meet the needs of warehousing, logistics, agri-food processors and transportation operations. The site is now fully operational and ready to serve long- and short-haul transport companies in one of Western Canada's most active logistics zones.
The GTH UFA Cardlock features select high-speed pump lanes with satellites, wide lanes, and a spacious parking lot equipped with overnight amenities, including modern shower and washroom facilities. Additionally, we offer DEF, UFA and Shell-branded lubricants, along with Dieselex® Gold, a premium fuel designed to enhance efficiency and performance.
"This is a proud moment for UFA and a significant investment in our future in Saskatchewan," said Fred Thun, President and CEO at UFA. "The GTH UFA Cardlock strengthens our ability to deliver reliable fuel solutions to commercial customers operating in one of the province's most vital logistics corridors. It reflects our commitment to supporting industry growth while staying true to our co-operative values providing dependable service, building strong relationships and reinvesting in the communities we serve."
The event also featured remarks from the Honourable David Marit, Minister of Highways, Minister of SaskBuilds and Procurement, and Minister responsible for the Global Transportation Hub Authority, who highlighted the importance of infrastructure investment in supporting the province's economic growth.
"UFA's investment in the Global Transportation Hub is a testament to the strength and potential of Saskatchewan's transportation and logistics sector," said Minister Marit. "This new site will play a vital role in fuelling the movement of goods and supporting the businesses that drive our economy forward."
Dan Hersche, CEO of the GTH echoed the Minister's sentiments: "The new Cardlock strengthens the infrastructure that supports our province's growing logistics, transportation, and agri-food sectors. We're proud to welcome UFA to the GTH and look forward to the value this partnership brings to our commercial and agricultural communities."
With construction now complete and the site fully operational, the GTH UFA Cardlock reflects UFA's ongoing commitment to investing in Saskatchewan. UFA is also pleased to welcome Laureen Kent as Site Supervisor. With over a decade of experience in the agriculture industry and strong ties to Saskatchewan, Laureen brings valuable leadership and community insight to the role.
We look forward to serving our new customers and continuing to grow our co-operative across Western Canada.
