Principals
Trudy Matthews, President
Trudy earned her CITT Diploma in 1987 and was in the first graduating class of the Professional Logistician program (P.Log). She served as president of the CITT Ontario Chapter and Chairman of the CITL Toronto.
Having worked in transportation for a variety of global corporations, she took a leap of faith in 1995 by starting her own company. Her aim was to help firms find solutions and cost savings to their overall transportation budgets.
Trudy also enjoys adventure hiking, biking and playing pickle ball. She is the proud mother of her brilliant, beautiful and successful daughter.
Scott Langen, Vice-President

He was an International Transportation Sales Rep, Marketing Manager, Manager at a pool car cross dock operation and Manager at production assembly plant. He also served on Board of Directors for the Kitchener Traffic Club.
Scott’s in-depth knowledge of the transportation industry, winning personality and ‘gift of gab’ helped to open the doors of many firms who invited Langmat in to review their transportation needs. With that expertise he helped grow Langmat into the success story it is today. His favorite pastimes are playing squash, adventure hiking and enjoying time with friends and family.

Our Story
From a young age, Trudy Matthews has been heavily involved in the logistics business. She worked for several large global corporations in the fields of chemical, food, automotive, steel, and others, in addition to being involved with the Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation and Canadian Industrial Transportation League. Trudy gained an extensive knowledge of the transportation and logistics world. One interesting note for Trudy is that she was part of the team which lobbied for the transition from 48ft tractor trailers to 53ft and double 53ft tractor trailers.
Trudy became a go-to contact for things all logistics related. Langmat was born out of the desire to do things a little differently. She took a leap of faith in 1995 and began her own business, with the mandate to provide custom solutions to her clients’ logistics needs. She was busy enough that her husband Scott soon joined her and just like that, they became a family-run logistics company – Langmat & Associates, Inc. The services evolved from simply consulting to anything from managing freight and warehousing to customs documentation preparation, freight audit and increasing supply chain efficiency.
Today, Langmat & Associates, along with it’s team members, pride themselves on knowledge, problem solving, customer service and efficiency. Langmat & Associates continues to be a success in logistics management by building long-standing relationships with their clients and service providers.
