Geodis partnership extends Xpedx's reach
A local distributor has formed an alliance with a French company that will expand both companies’ global footprint.
Xpedx announced Monday that it has signed a strategic alliance with Geodis, a Paris-based third-party logistics company. The two companies will offer a full range of logistics services, including air, sea and multi-modal transport, asset and inventory management, and other supply chain services.
“We will provide Geodis comprehensive geographical coverage and extended logistics service for their customers throughout the U.S.,” said Dan Watkoske, vice president of sales for Loveland-based Xpedx. “They, in turn, will provide the same for our customers with operations outside the U.S.”
Geodis, which has subsidiaries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Mexico, recently acquired TNT Freight Management, part of an Amsterdam firm with global operations, including in the United States.
Xpedx is a unit of International Paper headquartered in Memphis, Tenn.
