Agility has signed an agreement to acquire Paris-based Medgroup that includes Medorient Algeria, Medorient France and Med-Logistics UK.

The Medgroup is a freight forwarding and logistics company that manages general cargo, fairs and exhibitions and project logistics with a specialisation in the oil and gas industry.
Agility, a leading global logistics provider, currently has more than 29,000 employees in over 550 offices worldwide. This acquisition further strengthens Agility’s global network with eight offices across the three countries, the company said.
Algeria is a new country on Agility’s network map while the Marseille office of Meorient France will extend Agility’s presence in the country.
“At Agility, we recognise the importance of providing our customers with comprehensive services to meet their individual business needs throughout the world. By integrating the Medgroup into our global network, we have not only expanded our reach in the North Africa and European region but also enhanced the depth of our service offering.” said Beat Simon, chief executive officer, Europe for Agility.
