Seko acquires Goodship
Seko Logistics is starting a ‘transformative year’ for its global supply chain solutions business in 2019 by making the first full acquisition of another independent freight forwarding specialist in its 42-year history. The takeover candidate is Goodship International, a Chicago IL (USA)-headquartered customs brokerage and compliance consultancy.
“Goodship is a perfect example of the type of company we had in mind when we announced our expansion strategy earlier this year,” said Seko’s president and CEO James T. Gagne.
The addition of Goodship International will also build the capabilities of Seko’s Chicago gateway by adding a new level of customs brokerage and compliance services. Further expansion of Seko’s US Midwest operations will be announced in Q2/2019. (mw)
