AIT Worldwide Logistics, a provider of global supply chain solutions, recently announced it has completed an agreement to purchase Krupp Trucking LLC. The St. Louis-based freight forwarder specializing in the transportation of high-value goods, transferred all its assets and teammates to AIT and commenced operations as the AIT-St. Louis office.
Terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
A statement from the two companies said the acquisition bolsters AIT’s strategic investment in the global logistics marketplace by aligning complementary strengths, particularly in the high-value technology logistics sector.
“We see a powerful synergy between our two organizations,” said AIT’s Chief Development Officer Ray Fennelly. “This partnership combines AIT’s vast global network and vigorous governance with Krupp’s high-quality service and logistics solutions. Together, we’re well positioned to elevate the customer experience, especially when it comes to providing white glove logistics services for the high-tech industry. We’re thrilled to welcome the Krupp team to the AIT network.”
Fennelly said Krupp manages shipments across multiple U.S. and international air, ocean and road lanes for a broad range of customers.
Previously an independent contractor with SEKO Logistics, Krupp brings more than 26 years of industry experience to the AIT network. The acquisition includes a 115,000-square-foot office and warehouse in Earth City, Missouri, a fleet of more than 60 over-the-road and local trucks, and a veteran staff of nearly 100 teammates.
Scott Krupp, who founded the company bearing his name, will stay on with the business as city director.
