Crowley Maritime Corp. said it will merge Jarvis International Freight, a Houston-based freight forwarding, export packing and logistics company, into Crowley Logistics.
Crowley acquired Jarvis in January 2011.
Jarvis has offered specialized freight forwarding and logistics services for nearly 30 years to companies in the energy, oilfield and mining industries and will now offer project logistics and global freight management services to a wider array of industries and in more geographic locations.
The Jarvis staff will remain based in the same Houston office.
“There are a great number of synergies between this project logistics and global freight management group and many of Crowley’s other businesses lines,” said Steve Collar, Crowley senior vice president and general manager of logistics. “This team’s already strong client relationships and specialized knowledge of project logistics, combined with our experience, facilities and capabilities will prove to be an even greater resource to customers in the industries we serve.”
