"This partnership presents tremendous opportunities for our team and our customers. By combining our local expertise with JAS Worldwide's global reach and innovative and sustainable solutions, we can deliver even greater value and service excellence to our customers."  

Multilogistics is known for its highly customized customer solutions, providing deep industry expertise and unique solutions. As a highly respected player with a vast Italian network, its mission is to support customers in becoming leaders in their respective markets.  

"Multilogistics' approach to customer care mirrors JAS's service philosophy. This acquisition represents a significant milestone in our growth strategy, and I'm excited to align the two synergies into one to better serve our clients with an advanced range of logistics solutions," said Leonardo Baldi, Regional Vice President of JAS Italy.  

With 144 employees and expertise in freight forwarding, warehousing, distribution, and supply chain management, Multilogistics will bolster JAS's offerings of comprehensive logistics solutions.
