Strategy
Joint ventures and strategic investments are integral to Mercury Air's growth strategy, and the company has been focused in recent years on expanding its perishable cargo handling operations. In 2012 its perishable logistics company, Apollo Freight, partnered with Hellmann Perishable Logistics to form HPL-Apollo, LLC. The joint venture manages cooler handling operations in Miami and Los Angeles, two cities that see a high influx of fruits, vegetables, and other perishable cargo originating from South America, Mexico, and other markets. The company also opened a perishable center in Los Angeles the year before to handle produce imported from foreign producers and exported to markets overseas.
