Agility Acquires Two Logistics Companies in Singapore

Agility has acquired two logistics companies in Singapore, building its presence in the energy and break bulk sectors in the South East Asia region.

Agility’s new acquisitions Synergy Shipping Pte Ltd (SSPL) and Synergy Logistics Pte Ltd (SLPL) specialize in the transportation of oilfield equipment as well as providing a broad range of international freight forwarding services between South East Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the US.

The deal will strengthen Agility’s project forwarding capability in the region, particularly in the oil and gas sector in which Synergy is well established. The acquisition will also include subsidiary PT Synergy Indonesia (PTSI) based in Batam, Indonesia. The company operates its own tugs, barges as well as a fleet of transportation equipment in Batam with plans to expand further in the marine and projects sectors.

The Synergy companies will benefit from Agility’s global presence in more than 100 countries and its network capabilities, providing its own customers end-to-end services through a single logistics services provider.

"This acquisition has strengthened our capabilities to deliver world class logistics solutions in the energy sector. Synergy has built a good reputation in the South East Asian oil and gas industries and we are delighted that they will be joining the growing Agility family," said Wolfgang Hollermann, Chief Executive Officer, Asia Pacific for Agility.

Mark Siegert, Managing Director Asia-Pacific, Agility Project Logistics, (TransOceanic) was instrumental in negotiating the buy out said: "We are always looking to build our capabilities in strategically important sectors and Synergy will provide our customers in the energy industry with experience and expertise in this exciting and challenging field."

"This is a great opportunity for SSPL and SLPL and its customers to improve their reach through Agility’s network. We will now be able to enjoy greater efficiency and connectivity through joining a truly global company," said Joseph Ooi, Managing Director, Synergy group.
