"This acquisition provides U.S. Silica with unmatched logistics capabilities, enabling us to deliver a transformative value proposition to our customers with Sandbox's unique proprietary 'last mile' delivery system," said Bryan Shinn, president and CEO.

"Sandbox's containerized approach provides customers with a safer, more reliable delivery solution that de-couples sand delivery from consumption at the well site. We believe Sandbox has tremendous runway to grow in scale and industry adoption and will ultimately create long-term value for our shareholders," he added.
