RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Estes Forwarding Worldwide (EFW), a leading United States domestic and international freight forwarder specializing in custom logistics solutions, recently announced the acquisition of Lewis Logistics, a warehousing, distribution, and logistics provider based in North Carolina. EFW, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Estes Express Lines, is a non-asset based freight forwarder that works with clients across the globe, in all industries, to craft and execute customized logistics and warehousing solutions.
The acquisition of Lewis Logistics will lead to the establishment of EFW Warehousing, LLC, a full-service warehousing network.

"Acquiring Lewis Logistics will allow us to elevate our ability to provide integrated supply chain solutions to our customers," stated Scott Fisher, CEO and President of Estes Forwarding Worldwide.

The company's depth of experience and great cultural fit will strengthen and benefit our mutual clients as well as our employees."

"Lewis Logistics has built a very successful supply chain practice in the long-term, contract logistics arena, which complements our plans for expansion and aligns with our vision. Our goal is to secure our place as the premier freight forwarder in the industry.
