Rhenus Logistics Americas announced it has acquired Global Net Logistics, an international freight forwarder company based in Texas. The company hopes that the acquisition will expand its presence in the United States. According to Rhenus, the acquisition is strategically aligned with its Rhenus 2025 growth vision and will strengthen the company’s global air and ocean network in the southwest region of the USA and complement the existing Houston branch.
Global Net Logistics provides domestic and international freight forwarding, air and ocean, full truckload, and less than truckload services. Rhenus stated that the acquisition with Global Net Logistics will enable Rhenus to further and solidify its air and ocean solutions, particularly its road freight services, to strengthen the existing LCL services and provide customers with door-to-door solutions.
Additionally, Rhenus USA announced it will take over the Global Net Logistics 22,500 sq ft warehouse facility located five miles away from Dallas/ Fort Worth International Airport. The company hopes that the facility will strengthen the warehouse presence of Rhenus USA in the area, including land bridge and cross-border services between Mexico and the USA. The Southwest region has historically been one of the fastest-growing regions in the USA and is expecting continued growth in the future.
