C.H. Robinson Acquires India-Based Freight Forwarder

01 December 2006 - C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. announced that it has acquired certain assets of Triune Freight Private Ltd. and Triune Logistics Private Ltd., collectively ("Triune"), a third party logistics provider based in India. Triune has approximately 160 employees in 19 offices throughout India, and has annual gross revenues of approximately US$11.0 million.

Triune has more than 600 customers and provides primarily air and ocean international forwarding along with customs clearance services. They also have a projects division focused on highly specialised movements and solutions. Like C.H. Robinson, Triune is non-asset based. Headquartered in Chennai, Triune was founded in 1999 and is privately held; terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

"Further expansion of our international freight forwarding network is one of our core growth strategies, and Triune is an excellent introduction for us into one of the world's fastest-growing economies," said Jeff Scovill, C.H. Robinson Vice President of International. "They are a great company with a driven, service-oriented team of people and a well-balanced mix of forwarding services and customers. With Triune on board we can offer full coverage from northern to southern India, and we have a key platform to develop the C.H. Robinson network further into Southeast Asia."

In addition to acquiring selected assets of Triune, C.H. Robinson has offered employment to all of its existing employees. T.J. Srinivasaraj, 36, the Managing Director of Triune, will continue with the company as C.H. Robinson's Director of Indian subcontinent.
