Global Logistics Strategies 2006

An industry in transformation
The global logistics industry today is unrecognisable from just five years ago.
Consolidation in the sector has seen a plethora of well known companies consumed by
an increasing number of logistics giants which are now dominating the market.



Exel, Tibbett & Britten, Menlo, Fritz, Bax Global, Schenker, ACR Logistics, Roadway,
Overnite have all disappeared as independent entities and have been replaced by
global, single-source, integrated mega-logistics players.

In part the acquisition frenzy has been driven by the need for companies from a
range of backgrounds to develop into neighbouring logistics segments. This has
involved mail, express, rail, forwarding, road and shipping companies increasing
their scale and expanding the range and depth of services they provide to their
customers.
