GEODIS buys US-based drayage provider

GEODIS acquired Southern Companies, a drayage provider based in the United States that handles all phases of the import and export process. GEODIS believes the acquisition will enhance its end-to-end supply chain capabilities across the country.

Southern Companies is a family-owned business founded in Miami in 1965 and runs terminals across seven ports; Miami, Everglades, Houston, Jacksonville, Tampa, Savannah and Charleston.

Additionally, Southern Companies provides a range of import and export services, including warehousing and trucking.

“The acquisition of Southern Companies represents an important addition to GEODIS as we continue to strengthen and grow our capabilities, our team and our client roster throughout the US,” commented Mike Honious, president and CEO of GEODIS in Americas.

He added, “Southern Companies has been a leader in drayage services, from warehousing to trucking, for nearly six decades and operates in ports that are critical to our clients. From their people and culture to their expertise and capabilities, Southern Companies is an ideal fit for GEODIS and aligns perfectly with our Americas growth strategy.”
