Germany-headquartered logistics firm Transport Overseas Group (TO Group) has established a base in Cleveland, Ohio (USA). In November, the company acquired Allround Forwarding Midwest, also based in Cleveland.
TO Group intends to use the US hub to provide sea and airfreight services, project and breakbulk logistics, and ro-ro transport. The firm also acts as a shipping agent for Bahri Line in Northern Europe and Scandinavia.
The company added that with the acquisition of Allround Forwarding Midwest, contact persons, processes and agreed service levels will remain unchanged while integration into the global structure of the TO Group is implemented.
“Expansion into the US is a key component of our long-term growth strategy,” explained Christian Weber, managing director of TO Group. “With TO Shipping Americas, we are combining local market knowledge and operational strength in the US with the international network of TO Group. For our customers and partners, this means above all continuity, reliability, and additional performance.”
The Cleveland location complements TO Group’s existing network across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
