What Stands Out
- Freight and supply-chain deals include international forwarding, drayage, ocean freight and customs brokerage, as seen in PLS Logistics Services’ acquisition of The AGL Group.
- Fulfillment and delivery capabilities feature in transactions involving Fulfillment America, Quiet Logistics and Mass Movement.
- Product distribution spans distinct categories, including beverage, janitorial supplies, tire repair products and tubular building products.
- Some deals are framed around platform growth and expansion: ModuGo’s acquisition of Kelcon established its first Northeast branch, while RoadOne IntermodaLogistics received growth capital for geographic and service-line expansion.
