Canada-based Mullen Group is to acquire DWS Logistics to expand its third-party logistics and warehousing services.

DWS is based in Ontario and has distribution centres in Ontario and the Lower Mainland area of British Columbia. 

Its services include warehousing, distribution, order fulfilment, cross-docking and trans-loading, all supported by an inventory management system.

 

The company will operate as a standalone entity within Mullen Group’s trucking/logistics division.

 

"The acquisition of DWS marks our first step into the VAWD (value-added warehousing and distribution) industry. The VAWD services that DWS provides are a natural extension to our trucking/logistics segment," said Richard Maloney, senior vice-president, Mullen Group.

 

Greg Miller, a former owner of DWS, will serve as the unit’s leader and president, Mullen Group said.
