PSA BDP, a global logistics and supply chain solutions provider, announced the acquisition of a majority stake in ED Forwarding, a Mexico-based logistics solutions provider.
With this acquisition, PSA BDP strengthens its presence in Mexico and enhances its ability to better serve customers with an expanded suite of supply chain solutions.
Headquartered in Mexico City, ED Forwarding is well-established in the region, serving a variety of customers across multiple industry verticals.

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, according to the statement.
