CEVA acquires Stellar Value Chain Solutions

CEVA Logistics has announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire 96 per cent of Mumbai-based Stellar Value Chain Solutions.

CEVA will acquire approximately 7,700,000 square feet of space across more than 70 facilities in 21 cities across India.

In addition, CEVA will inherit the Stellar workforce of nearly 8,000 full-time and temporary employees, who have strong expertise and relationships in India.

Founded in 2016, Stellar Value Chain Solutions is one of the largest consumer supply chain institutions in India, being responsible for contract logistics with omni-channel fulfilment services in the eCommerce, automotive, food products, consumer, fashion and retail, healthcare and pharmaceuticals market segments. 

The Stellar acquisition will help CEVA diversify its presence in India, boosting its local workforce, assets, customer roster and capabilities. The deal strengthens CEVA’s strategy to provide its customers with end-to-end supply chain solutions.

CEVA is currently present in 75 locations across 35 cities in India with approximately 2,700,000 square feet of warehouse space.

With the acquisition, CEVA is likely to become a much stronger player in Indian contract logistics, offering its new customers global expertise and increased operational efficiency and innovation.

In addition to India, the acquisition complements recent growth in CEVA’s contract logistics business elsewhere in the Asia Pacific region.

The deal is also expected to benefit CEVA’s freight management and customs business in the region. With new manufacturing trends and supply chain routes developing, CEVA’s global network and wide range of logistics solutions provides its Asia-Pacific (APAC) clients with the agility needed to navigate changing market conditions.

Mathieu Friedberg, Chief Executive Officer, CEVA Logistics, said: “With the addition of Stellar VCS, we will continue our strategic growth with the goal of becoming a top five global logistics player.

“We are expanding into more key market segments and boosting our presence in this strategic country. Stellar has an important network of contract logistics facilities across India and a top roster of customers. Bringing on their expertise and footprint in India is a major step forward for CEVA Logistics.”

Anshuman Singh, Founder, Stellar Value Chain Solutions, stated: “We have built a strong network across India based on our commitment to serving our customers through long-term partnerships.

“Warburg Pincus has been an extremely valuable and supportive partner in building this company right from its inception and is now passing on the baton to another global giant, CEVA Logistics, to take this company ahead.

“I look forward excitedly to the future with CEVA, further supporting our commitment to our customers and allowing them to benefit from CEVA’s global capabilities with our knowledge of India.”

In May 2023, CEVA Logistics signed a new 10-year lease with its parent company, CMA CGM, to connect its global automotive customers with more Ro-Ro vessel capacity.
