New York-based logistics company Inter-Jet Systems Inc., has acquired certain assets of A. Burghart Shipping Co. Inc., a Springfield, N.J.-based customs broker and ocean freight forwarder, for an undisclosed amount.
Under terms of the deal, James Burghart, former chief executive officer of A. Burghart Shipping, has joined Inter-Jet as its business development manager and will run its New Jersey office.
