Logisticus Group Expands Its Horizons with Acquisition of KingSize Rail and Logistics
Greenville, S.C. – In a significant move that promises to shape the future of rail logistics, Logisticus Group has officially acquired the well-established rail logistics company, KingSize Rail and Logistics. The announcement, made on October 21, 2024, highlights LG’s commitment to enhancing its offerings in the transportation logistics sector, particularly in the growing field of renewable energy.
Embracing Growth and Innovation
The acquisition is set to broaden Logisticus Group’s capabilities, allowing them to provide a more comprehensive suite of services to their customers. The founder of KingSize, Chris King, has dedicated years to developing innovative solutions specifically aimed at the wind energy sector. With nine patents related to the transportation of wind energy components via rail, King has played a pivotal role in pioneering tools that streamline the process of moving large components, vital for wind energy distribution centers.
“We are thrilled to welcome KingSize Rail and Logistics to the Logisticus family,” expressed Vikash Patel, co-founder of LG. His enthusiasm for this acquisition underscores the synergy between the two companies. “This acquisition aligns with our long-term strategy to enhance our capabilities in the project logistics space and provide innovative solutions for our clients,” he continued. It’s clear that this merger reflects LG’s dedication to evolving with the needs of their customers, especially in the rapidly developing landscape of renewable energy.
A Bright Future Ahead
Founded in 2019, KingSize has quickly garnered respect and a stellar reputation within the industry. In just five years, they have not only contributed significantly to the logistics of wind energy but also demonstrated a strong commitment to customer service—values that resonate deeply with Logisticus.
“Logisticus’ vision for growth and its commitment to customer service made this a perfect fit,” said Chris King, expressing his excitement about joining forces. He believes that by combining their expertise, the two companies can enhance the value they deliver to customers, ultimately expanding their reach and capabilities.
What This Means for Customers
The integration of KingSize Rail and Logistics into the Logisticus Group umbrella is expected to begin immediately. Both companies are committed to a seamless transition, ensuring that customers experience uninterrupted service through this period.
