St. George Logistics acquires Summit Northwest

CHICAGO – St. George Logistics (STG), a provider of specialty 3PL and transportation services critical to the global supply chain, has expanded its leading import/export presence into the Pacific Northwest and Canada through the acquisition of Summit Northwest Corp. (Summit).

Summit’s management, led by co-founder and president Bob Hodson, Matt Hodson and Sabine Morris, will continue with the business and will join STG as shareholders and senior members of its regional operations team.

Founded in 1999, Summit is a comprehensive import/export logistics provider in the gateway cities of Seattle-Tacoma, Portland and Vancouver. Summit provides value added warehousing and distribution solutions, container freight station services, first and last mile delivery, as well as container drayage, less-than-truckload, full truckload, and cross-border ground transport.

Summit’s facilities are custom-bonded and TSA-certified, allowing Summit to play a critical role in providing import/export solutions to air freight forwarders, ocean freight forwarders, airlines, and other providers of international transportation and logistics services.

“Our expansion into the Pacific Northwest is a critical step in the evolution of STG’s market-leading footprint,” commented Chris Jamroz, executive chairman of STG.

“While STG maintains leadership in the two largest port systems in the United States – Los Angeles/Long Beach and New York/New Jersey – we have not been able to respond to the incredible demand our customers have for solutions in Seattle-Tacoma, America’s third largest port, or in Portland and Vancouver. We are thrilled that with the addition of Summit, we can now offer our services in these major North American gateways.”
