Scan Global chooses next victim
The UK market is on the agenda: Copenhagen-headquartered logistics forwarder Scan Global Logistics (SGL) purchased Horizon International Cargo (Horizon), a traditional air and ocean forwarder based in UK, effective 1 October.
On its way through the Commonwealth, SGL acquired New Zealand freight forwarder Orbis Global Logistics just a few days ago. It will join the SGL organisation on 5 October. The value of both transactions was not disclosed.
Until now, UK was a white spot on SGL's map. Nigel Davies, Horizon International Cargo's chairman, will remain in office. Horizon will broaden SGL's global footprint, as Ragnar Dalen, EVP corporate development, said: "Horizon's offices in Japan, the Netherlands, Spain and USA will further strengthen our existing setups."
