Arvato has acquired the Canadian logistics company THINK Logistics, thereby entering the Canadian market. This acquisition is part of a comprehensive strategy to unify the North American fulfillment structure. Customers will be able to efficiently manage their supply chains across the USA and Canada in the future.
The acquisition of THINK Logistics, which was founded in 2012 in Mississauga, Ontario, allows Arvato to expand its presence in one of the most dynamic e-commerce regions worldwide. THINK Logistics offers technology-driven end-to-end supply chain solutions and serves national and international customers from various industries, including e-commerce, retail, fashion, and high-tech. With modern warehouse technologies and a strong omnichannel expertise, the company has achieved sustainable growth in the Canadian market.
Strategic Integration in North America
Frank Schirrmeister, CEO of Arvato, emphasizes that entering the Canadian market represents not only a geographical expansion but also a strategic step towards integrating Canada into Arvato’s North American platform. „THINK Logistics combines technological expertise, operational strength, and entrepreneurial thinking. Together, we create a seamless cross-border operating model,“ says Schirrmeister. This integration aims to enable global brands to scale faster and enhance their resilience in the USA and Canada.
THINK Logistics‘ expertise in omnichannel and e-commerce fulfillment, as well as value-added services, will complement Arvato’s North American infrastructure. Strategically located sites in Canada will ensure immediate nationwide coverage and scalable operational capacity. The combination of the technological competencies of both companies is expected to enable coordinated inventory positioning and distribution across borders.
Growth Opportunities in the Canadian Market
Robert Hashimoto, President of THINK Logistics, highlights that the collaboration with Arvato has already demonstrated the added value of combining local expertise with global scaling. The merger allows for the further development of technology-driven solutions within an international network while maintaining a customer-oriented corporate culture.
The acquisition of THINK Logistics strengthens Arvato’s position in the Canadian market, which is considered a central gateway for international brands. Companies seeking reliable access to North American consumers will benefit from the expanded fulfillment structures. This transaction underscores Arvato’s long-term strategy to build regionally integrated logistics platforms in strategically relevant markets and transform supply chain complexity into a competitive advantage.
