MONTREAL, Sept. 12,
2024 /CNW/ - Metro Supply Chain Inc. (the "Company"),
a leading contract logistics provider for 50 years, today announced
it is integrating SCI to drive value at scale to the fast-growing
and market-leading businesses it serves across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe. The Company acquired SCI in
March 2024, strengthening its
position as a global champion in strategic supply chain
solutions.
"Our vision has always been to leverage our shared
customer-first approach, culture of innovation and operational
excellence to generate growth for our clients," said Metro Supply
Chain President and CEO, Chris
Fenton. "The teams have been working hard these past few
months to align our deep breadth of services and I am excited
to officially bring SCI's capabilities under the Metro Supply Chain
banner later this fall."
Ambitious growth strategy
Marking the 12th
business acquisition the Company has made in less than a decade to
diversify its capabilities and services and expand its global
network, SCI adds critical sectors such as technology and
healthcare to the industries Metro Supply Chain serves and
reinforces the Company's ecommerce fulfilment capabilities in
Canada.
The combined entity also significantly scales Metro Supply
Chain's White Glove business-to-consumer and business-to-business
delivery services. Today, the Company is the leading national
last-mile logistics, delivery and installation partner to top
retailers, making 1.7 million deliveries of big and bulky goods to
Canadian consumers each year. SCI brings deep experience and
expertise in White Glove business-to-business services, including
the delivery, installation, assembly and configuration of fragile
or oversized goods such as copiers and printers, retail kiosks,
parcel lockers, ATM machines and medical equipment.
Together, the two companies offer a seamless, omni-channel
ecommerce fulfillment experience to scaling North American
businesses. Cross-border fulfillment services include a team highly
experienced in setting up U.S. ecommerce fulfilment directly from
Canada, leveraging US Section 321
to reduce or eliminate import duty and tariff costs.
