Harris Williams, a global investment bank specializing in
M&A advisory services, announces it advised Magaya Corporation
(Magaya), a portfolio company of LLR Partners (LLR), on its
recapitalization from funds advised by Apax Digital, the growth
equity arm of Apax Partners (Apax). Magaya is a leading provider of
cloud-based supply chain automation and logistics software for
freight forwarders, customs brokers, and other international
logistics providers. The transaction was led by Andy Leed, Erik
Szyndlar, Ryan Costa, Colin Chapin and Sean McGann of the Harris
Williams Technology Group.
“International logistics is undergoing an industry-wide digital
transformation, and Magaya is playing a central role in helping
freight forwarders become more agile and resilient through its
modern digital freight platform,” said Andy Leed, a managing
director at Harris Williams. “It was a pleasure working with CEO
Gary Nemmers, Magaya’s co-founders, and management on this
transaction, and we are excited to see what the company
accomplishes in their continued partnership with LLR and with their
new partner Apax Digital.”
“This investment represents another high-profile transaction for
Harris Williams within the broader supply chain and logistics
technology sector,” said Ryan Costa, a director at Harris Williams.
“The rapidly changing global trade environment, which is
characterized by growing trade volumes, increasing complexity, and
ongoing diversification away from single-sourced supply chains, is
not only driving strong demand for Magaya’s solutions, but also
fueling investment activity across the broader market. We expect
strong investor and corporate buyer interest to continue as these
trends create new challenges for organizations.”
