We’ve previously profiled technology companies attacking the supply chain and logistics industry broadly and reported on the spike in funding these companies are seeing from corporates, smart money investors, and traditional VCs alike.
To understand where corporates in the space are investing and acquiring, we created a list of top pure-play logistics corporates operating in freight (air, ocean, and ground), and warehousing, based on annual reported revenue.
We then used the CB Insights Business Social Graph to analyze the investment activity of these corporates from 2012 through 2016 YTD (12/6/16).
Acquisitions are noted by the orange lines and investments are noted by the green lines.
The list includes 9 leading corporates that have backed or acquired at least one company since 2012.
