Transportation and logistics impact business-to-business and consumer behavior around the world. Today, in the era of international trade, planning and implementing the movement of supplies and materials is indeed a globalized process, with logistics companies constantly involved in the movement, storage and flow of goods and services within global supply chains. The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted this sector: although it is primarily a health crisis, indeed, the pandemic has affected every aspect of human life, including international trade and supply chains.
However, what emerges nowadays is that logistics is considered to remain an important focus of transportation deals in the post-pandemic world, as businesses will look to increase their online commerce and last-mile services. From this perspective, many logistics companies have begun to contemplate new approaches to client services and corporate partnerships, thus increasingly relying on M&A operations. It is therefore key to understand the dynamics that often arise in the process of selling or acquiring a company, in particular during times like these.
