Supply Chain Management

Efficient and secure supply chains are critical to the movement of goods around the globe touching industries ranging from aerospace to food to pharmaceuticals. Physical assets such as warehouses, trucks, planes, ships, and rail cars are essential underpinnings to supply chains. However, technology continues to play an increasingly important role throughout well-functioning supply chains enabling many of the current trends in distribution and logistics.

The combination of global economic growth, changing business models and enabling technologies is transforming supply chains with new entrants and products.  Supply chain merger and acquisition opportunities are expanding and range from trucking company consolidation and third-party logistics (3PL) rollups to last mile solution consolidation and technology advancement.  The need for scale, location, and productivity drive M&A activity.
