Purolator has acquired Livingston International, a trade services firm which specializes in customs brokerage, global freight forwarding, and trade consulting, from Platinum Equity. The deal, worth an undisclosed amount, will allow Purolator and Livingston to provide increased breadth of capabilities to customers. Livingston International will now become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purolator led by its existing leadership team managing its day-to-day operations.
“Strategically, this transaction represents a generational opportunity to acquire a highly complementary and growing international business with a proven track record of success,” said John Ferguson, Purolator president and CEO. “With these broader capabilities and increased breadth, we can offer more choice and greater flexibility to current and future customers.”
