PSA BDP ACQUIRES MAJORITY STAKE IN ED FORWARDING
TO STRENGTHEN REGIONAL PRESENCE AND DELIVER
ENHANCED SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS
PSA BDP, a leading global logistics and supply chain solutions provider, today announced the acquisition of a majority stake in ED Forwarding, a Mexico-based logistics solutions provider. With this acquisition, PSA BDP strengthens its foothold in Mexico and enhances its ability to better serve customers with an expanded suite of supply chain solutions, particularly in the realm of cross-border logistics and customhouse brokerage activities.
Mexico serves as a bridge between North and South America, making it a key hub for cross-border trade, and access to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans enables vital proximity for international shipping routes. With many shippers continuing the trend of nearshoring from Asia to Mexico, there is a growing need for expanded distribution networks that can provide comprehensive solutions. Headquartered in Mexico City, ED Forwarding is well-established in the region, serving a variety of customers across multiple industry verticals.
Customers will stand to benefit from PSA’s global network of deepsea, rail and inland terminals, PSA BDP’s expertise in innovative end-to-end supply chain management solutions, and affiliated businesses in marine and digital services.
This acquisition marks the next chapter in a longstanding partnership between the two companies as ED Forwarding has been a partner agent within PSA BDP’s global network for over 10 years. By joining forces in a more integrated capacity, PSA BDP and ED Forwarding will leverage their combined expertise, infrastructure, and networks to provide greater value to customers within but also beyond the region. Customers will reap the advantages of an enhanced service portfolio, increased operational efficiencies, and access to a more robust logistics network tailored to the evolving demands of the market.
“Our investment in ED Forwarding represents a natural evolution of our longstanding partnership and an exciting opportunity for growth; I could not be more pleased to firm up this agreement,” said Hector Gonzalez, Deputy CEO, PSA BDP. “The synergies between our companies create tremendous opportunities for innovation, growth, and enhanced customer experience.”
Jorge Pedroza Paez, Managing Director, ED Forwarding echoed this sentiment, stating, “Having worked closely with PSA BDP for many years, we are excited to
formalise this partnership and accelerate our shared vision for the future. Together, we are well positioned to better serve our customers in a key market.”
The transaction is subject to formal approvals by the relevant authorities and other customary closing conditions.
