Priority Courier Experts (“PCE”), a leading provider of same-day logistics services backed by Trident Management and Bluejay Capital, has acquired INPAX Shipping Solutions, an Atlanta-based logistics provider.
Why it matters: The deal gives PCE instant scale in the Southeast, a fast-growing region for logistics solutions, and adds a proven operator with deep customer relationships.
Mark Cossack, CEO of Priority Courier Experts: "INPAX brings more than two decades of Southeast expertise and immediate scale in strategic markets. This is exactly the kind of partner that will help us broaden our service offering and grow faster together."
INPAX details
- Founded: Over 20 years ago in Atlanta.
- Footprint: Active in seven markets across the South, including Atlanta, Charlotte and Raleigh, all top 20 expansion markets for PCE.
- Scale: More than 335 independent-contractor drivers and 75 employees, completing over 400,000 orders a year.
- Services: Parcel and ecommerce pickup and delivery, brokerage, distribution, healthcare logistics and local and regional dock truck and tractor trailer freight.
Leonard Wright, owner of INPAX: "INPAX has spent more than 20 years building a reputation across the Southeast for dependable, high-touch delivery. Joining Priority Courier Experts gives our team, our drivers and our customers a larger network and proven best practices to grow faster than we could alone."
Strategic Rationale
The acquisition of INPAX advances PCE's strategy on these fronts:
- Expanding services and geographic range — INPAX adds significant scale in the Southeast (Georgia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Florida).
- Helping existing customers grow — By combining INPAX's established regional relationships, brokerage services and vertical expertise with PCE's broader network and service capabilities, customers of all both companies gain access to an expanded set of solutions to support their own growth.
Alexis Rathborne, Managing Director at Trident Management: "The customized logistics and priority delivery sector continues to grow rapidly and companies like INPAX are the reason why. They understand their customers’ needs and fulfill them with passion, so they are the perfect partners for the PCE platform."
Garrett Anacker, Principal at Bluejay Capital: "INPAX is exactly the kind of well-run, founder-led businesses we look for to complement the PCE platform the company’s commercial and parcel strength across the Southeast immediately broadens what PCE can offer."
