The Pollack Companies
2021
Why
To aggressively expand C.H. Robinson's final-mile delivery and specialized transportation capabilities, acquiring a major provider of white-glove services for retail fixtures, appliances, and complex, high-value goods.
Impact
The acquisition provided C.H. Robinson with a massive network of final-mile delivery assets and specialized expertise, diversifying its revenue base away from the commoditized dry van truckload market and capturing a larger share of the growing e-commerce and retail supply chain.
Outcome
Pollack's integration significantly enhanced the company's ability to offer complex, multi-modal final-mile solutions, generating higher margins and creating stronger customer stickiness in the specialized transportation segment.
