USA-based logistics firm JAS has completed the acquisition of Pentagon Freight Services, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals.
HLPFI reported in July 2025 that JAS had signed a share purchase agreement to begin the acquisition. UK-headquartered Pentagon Freight Services provides freight forwarding, project logistics and ship agency services, and has over 1,200 employees across 65 offices worldwide.
“This acquisition marks a pivotal moment in JAS’s growth strategy,” said Marco Rebuffi, president and ceo of JAS. “Pentagon’s experience and specialisation complement our global footprint and elevate our service offerings.”
Ashley Taylor, group ceo of Pentagon, added: “JAS is the perfect partner to extend our global reach while retaining our commitment to delivering bespoke logistics solutions. We look forward to contributing our expertise to the broader JAS platform and growing together.”
All Pentagon offices will continue as usual while transitioning under the JAS umbrella.
In August 2025, JAS appointed Manuele Mazzacurati as interim chief commercial officer and Angus Haig as its general counsel and chief compliance officer.
