Company information

Armstrong sets itself apart in Charlotte's moving landscape with a remarkable 68-year family legacy dating back to 1957, when The Armstrong Company started as a small, family-owned mover in Memphis. Now operating from Westinghouse Boulevard, their Charlotte branch serves as a powerhouse covering the entire Southeast region, including areas like Lake Norman, Concord, and Fort Mill. The Armstrong Company provides trusted movers, storage and logistics solutions, helping families and businesses move with ease while offering exceptional logistics support and secure storage. What distinguishes Armstrong from typical moving companies is their three-pronged approach - they seamlessly blend residential moves, commercial relocations, and sophisticated supply chain management under one roof. With dozens of offices and hundreds of committed team members nationwide, they can promise everything that matters will end up right where it needs to be. Armstrong's culture is built on family values and a promise to give exceptional quality moving services, with three generations of going above and beyond.
