GEODIS has completed its acquisition of American company Need It Now Delivers following regulatory approvals.
The acquisition expands GEODIS’s US presence in the areas of contract logistics and final mile delivery and strengthens its end-to-end freight network domestically and internationally.
Based in Keasbey, New Jersey, Need It Now Delivers operates a major freight network in the United States — with a strong presence in the East — including over 65 company locations and more than 300 interconnected distribution points.
Need It Now Delivers features a workforce of more than 2,000 employees and serves over 1,600 customers across a variety of high-growth sectors, including apparel, electronics, home furnishings, automotive products and medical supplies.
In addition to omnichannel and final mile capabilities, Need It Now Delivers offers logistics services including white glove home delivery, direct-to-consumer parcel delivery, contract logistics and same day logistics.
“The completion of the Need It Now Delivers acquisition will accelerate our continued growth in the US, which has become an essential market for GEODIS, as we remain committed to building a fully integrated network of transport and logistics hubs globally,” said Marie-Christine Lombard, CEO of GEODIS.
GEODIS customers will now have access to expanded transportation management and warehousing capabilities in the US while Need It Now Delivers clients will have the opportunity to bolster their global supply chains with new access to GEODIS’s international freight forwarding and contract logistics networks for a comprehensive solution.
“GEODIS acquired Need It Now Delivers due to its proven and dedicated team, expansive national network with a commitment to best-in-class service, and diverse and longstanding customer relationships in high-growth industry verticals,” said Mike Honious, President & CEO of GEODIS in Americas.
“I am confident the combination of our two organisations will create a powerful set of end-to-end logistics solutions to best support our customers’ growth.”
With the completion of the Need It Now Delivers acquisition, GEODIS now employs approximately 15,000 workers in the US with more than 17,000 employees in the Americas region.
