Ace Relocation Systems, Inc.

It all started back in Iowa when Reg Lammers,
chief executive officer of Ace Relocation
Systems, Inc., an Atlas Van Lines agent got
into the business as a trucker. As a boy growing
up on a farm, Reg, who recently turned 63,
started in the trucking business out of high school.
It was in 1961 that he joined up with a trucking
company in Minnesota.

"I hauled peas and sweet corn for a year,” he said.
At 19, he moved on, working with a moving company
in Minnesota driving cross country. But his moving days ended after several years when his new wife, Kathleen asked him to stay closer to home. Reg and family eventually moved to Southern California as general manager of a moving and storage company in San Diego.

This move for Reg and his family proved to be the beginning of a business that has expanded and evolved, over its 30+ year history, to meet the needs of our customers and keep pace with trends and technology while providing high quality relocation service solutions.

Reg officially purchased the San Diego moving company and another one in Long Beach, CA and renamed the company Ace of California. In 1988 the company expanded to Northern California with the opening of an office and warehouse in San Jose. When the Seattle office opened in 1993 the company name was again changed to Ace Relocation Systems, Inc. Today Ace can still be recognized by its stylized palm tree logo that remains from our California beginnings.

Today Ace is a family owned and operated business with eight office and warehouse locations strategically placed throughout the country. Reg's son Larry was named President in 2002 and moved from the San Jose location to work out of the corporate office in San Diego, CA. Reg's younger son Dan relocated several years ago to the East coast from Long Beach and is currently in charge of the Baltimore operation.
