A longstanding player in the customs brokerage field, P.W. Bellingall, Inc. became an ideal candidate for Worldwide Logistics Group’s maiden acquisition. The Group, following 25 years of self-propelled expansion, has recently embarked on an aggressive growth path. Having established 18 new offices across the U.S., Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa over the last two years, the acquisition of P.W. Bellingall, Inc. marks an important milestone.
