JF Moran Acquired by OIA Global
Logisyn is proud to announce our role as sell-side advisor to JF Moran in their acquisition by OIA Global. Based in Rhode Island, JF Moran is an established customs broker that combines decades of excellence in customs services with a complementary portfolio of logistics services, including freight and transportation. As part of their succession planning, JF Moran’s owners, Betty and George Robson, were looking for not just a new partner that shared their culture and values but would also provide growth opportunities for both the company and its amazing team.
“From our very first meeting with Mark Para, George and I knew that we were in the right hands as we began to explore the possibilities for a clear succession plan. He became a trusted advisor and friend as we moved through the process. Having an entire team to support and guide us as we moved from discovery all the way through closing was essential to our being able to concentrate on our business while we walked this path. They exceeded every expectation we had, and I will be enthusiastically recommending them to others.” – Betty Robson, Owner of JF Moran
Based in Portland, Oregon, OIA Global provides end-to-end supply chain management, including contract logistics services, packaging solutions, raw materials management, 4PL supply chain orchestration, and several advanced technology solutions. This acquisition strengthens OIA’s trade compliance expertise, North American footprint, and strategic logistic solutions. In addition, given OIA’s long-term expansion goals for CHB services, JF Moran provided the perfect solution and infrastructure.
Knowing that company culture alignment would make or break a deal, the Logisyn team saw a perfect fit between the two companies from the beginning. This partnership presents an ideal opportunity for them to continue to excel at their top-notch services while laying the groundwork for multiple avenues of future growth. While our priority will always be to our client first, our experience shows that securing a positive solution on both sides of the table is key to a successful outcome.
"Working with Betty and George has been an absolute pleasure. The rich culture of the company is an exact reflection of their family culture, which means always caring and prioritizing the people. They are a true diamond in the rough. I’m extremely proud of our team for finding them the perfect partner in OIA Global, and wish both companies the best in this new partnership.” - Mark Para, Managing Director at Logisyn
