## Company history

Landstar traces its origins to 1988, when it was formed following a management buyout of IU International’s Truckload Group. John B. Bowron, who led that group, became Landstar’s first chairman and CEO. [21](https://www.landstar.com/blog/mile-markers-of-success/)[22](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/853816/000085381697000007/0000853816-97-000007.txt) Landstar System, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in January 1991 and acquired its predecessor on March 28, 1991; it became publicly held after an IPO in March 1993. [23](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P60777290)[24](https://www.investor.landstar.com/faqs)

In 2009, Landstar acquired Premier Logistics and A3 Integration, adding supply-chain and transportation-management capabilities to its business. [25](https://investor.landstar.com/news-releases/news-release-details/landstar-announces-acquisition-two-supply-chain-transportation) In 2014, James B. Gattoni succeeded Henry Gerkens as president and CEO. [26](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/853816/000119312514360211/d796429dex991.htm) In 2017, Landstar expanded into Mexico through its Landstar Metro subsidiary, which acquired substantially all assets of Fletes Avella’s asset-light transportation-logistics business. [27](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P117521927)

Frank A. Lonegro succeeded Gattoni as president and CEO effective February 2, 2024. [28](https://investor.landstar.com/news-releases/news-release-details/frank-lonegro-succeed-james-b-gattoni-landstar-ceo)
