C.H. Robinson Adds to Europe Growth with Italian Road Transport Acquisition
23rd May 2019
US founded 3PL provider C.H. Robinson is continuing its expansion in Europe with the acquisition of Italian road transport provider Dema Service.
“The acquisition of Dema Service is an exciting milestone for C.H. Robinson and will strengthen our existing footprint in Italy, one of the largest road transportation markets in Europe,” said Jeroen Eijsink, President of Europe for C.H. Robinson. “We are eager to work with Dema Service’s customers to offer our full suite of logistics services to help improve their supply chains.”
This is the second European acquisition for C.H. Robinson in 2019, following freight forwarding group Space Cargo, which expanded C.H. Robinson’s presence in Spain and Colombia.
Dema Service is a privately-owned logistics company providing road transportation services across Europe. Headquartered in Pescara, Italy, Dema Service has approximately 100 employees and three offices located in Italy, Poland and Czech Republic.
C.H. Robinson will integrate Dema Service into its European Surface Transportation division and single global technology platform, Navisphere.
