The event brought together NX Group President and CEO Satoshi Horikiri, Metro Supply Chain Group founder and Group Chairman Chiko Nanji, and representatives from both organizations.
During the event, leadership outlined NX Group’s strategic vision for the combined business and emphasized opportunities to accelerate sustainable growth across North America and international markets.
Headquartered in Montreal, Metro Supply Chain Group operates a contract logistics business serving customers across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
The company provides logistics and supply chain services across multiple industries, including retail, consumer goods, automotive and manufacturing, healthcare and wellness, technology and services, and the public sector.
Its capabilities include order fulfillment, inventory management, warehousing, distribution, and supply chain operations designed to support businesses with complex logistics requirements.
The acquisition expands NX Group’s contract logistics footprint in North America and strengthens its ability to provide integrated distribution and end-to-end supply chain solutions.
By combining Metro Supply Chain Group’s established regional operations with NX Group’s international transportation network, the company aims to deliver a broader range of logistics services to existing and prospective customers.
NX Group also plans to position Metro Supply Chain Group as a core platform for its global contract logistics business.
This strategy will involve leveraging Metro Supply Chain Group’s fulfillment capabilities, warehouse automation technologies, and operational expertise to improve logistics processes across other NX Group businesses.
Metro Supply Chain Group’s experience in order processing, inventory management, and shipping operations is expected to support the development of more efficient fulfillment models across NX Group’s international network.
The company intends to apply these capabilities to operations in Europe and Asia while using Metro Supply Chain Group’s expertise to enhance existing logistics services throughout the organization.
Warehouse automation is another important component of the integration strategy. By incorporating Metro Supply Chain Group’s technologies and operating methods, NX Group aims to improve efficiency, productivity, and service capabilities across its contract logistics operations.
The acquisition also creates opportunities to expand relationships with customers of both companies through cross-selling initiatives.
NX Group plans to introduce its international transportation, freight forwarding, and customs brokerage services to Metro Supply Chain Group’s existing customers.
At the same time, the combined organization intends to use its contract logistics relationships to identify opportunities for additional transportation and supply chain services.
This approach is designed to strengthen customer relationships by providing businesses with more comprehensive logistics solutions spanning warehousing, fulfillment, international transportation, and customs management.
For Metro Supply Chain Group, joining NX Group provides access to a broader global network and additional resources to support business expansion.
The combination is expected to help Metro Supply Chain Group extend its services to international customers while maintaining its established presence in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
For NX Group, the transaction represents a strategic expansion of its North American business and supports its efforts to strengthen its position as a global provider of integrated logistics services.
The company expects to generate operational synergies by combining Metro Supply Chain Group’s regional expertise with NX Group’s international infrastructure, customer relationships, and transportation capabilities.
The acquisition also reflects the increasing importance of integrated supply chain services as businesses seek logistics partners capable of managing inventory, fulfillment, distribution, and international transportation through coordinated networks.
NX Group and Metro Supply Chain Group plan to continue integrating their operations and pursuing opportunities to improve customer service, expand their logistics capabilities, and support long-term growth across global markets.
