- XPO Logistics (XPO +0.8%) is again considering potential M&A targets in Europe and North America, CEO Bradley Jacobs tells a supply-chain management conference in Chicago.
- This time around the focus is largely on companies that would bolster XPO’s existing business lines, particularly in contract logistics, rather than adding new services, Jacobs says.
- XPO has added more than a dozen logistics businesses over the past five years, including trucking companies, freight brokers and last-mile delivery specialists, in a deal spree aimed at transforming the company into an end-to-end global supply-chain provider.
