F.S. Mackenzie Ltd. is sold to Singapore Post
Famous Holdings, a member of the Singapore Post Group of Companies, becomes sole owner of the international freight forwarding company F.S. Mackenzie
Singapore Post Limited, through its subsidiary Famous Holdings Pte Ltd., has purchased the entire issued and paid-up share capital of F.S. Mackenzie Limited (FMS). The company says that the acquisition will help it to establish an entry point into the Western European freight market and strengthen its ability to provide customers with integrated e-commerce logistics solutions, which complement its existing postal and parcel networks.
Alfred Stienen, who will remain group chairman of F.S. Mackenzie, says that the sale will allow the UK company to broaden its freight network through the support of a financially strong parent company. “We have worked in partnership with Famous Holdings, which was acquired by Singapore Post in 2013, for over 20 years and this represents a great opportunity to build on that relationship. Singapore Post is keen to develop its profile in the international logistics arena and sees F.S. Mackenzie as a solid platform on which to build that development in Europe.”
F.S. Mackenzie provides reliable and flexible freight forwarding solutions since 1951. Today F.S. Mackenzie is represented by sixteen offices in the UK, Russia, the Ukraine, Spain, Germany and Georgia. Each office provides the full range of international logistical solutions by sea, air and road in conjunction with global agents and partners.
