Scan Global Logistics to acquire OIA Global

Scan Global Logistics has signed a pact to acquire US-based OIA Global in a deal that would expand its presence in North America and increase its scale across global logistics markets, said Allan Melgaard, Global CEO. The transaction is likely to close in Q1 2027, subject to regulatory approvals. OIA Global’s activities include freight forwarding, customs brokerage, contract logistics, and project cargo. The acquisition comes amid continued consolidation in the logistics sector, as freight forwarders seek broader geographic coverage and capabilities across supply chains. Both firms will operate independently until the transaction is completed. The deal’s final impact will depend on regulatory approval and how the businesses are integrated after closing.
