Freight, warehousing and logistics company Mondiale VGL has acquired Interunion, a provider of air, sea and land transportation, warehousing, logistics and domestic transportation in Southeast Asia. 

Prior to the acquisition, Mondiale VGL held an existing stake in Interunion and the two companies have partnered together since 2012.

Mondiale VGL says the acquisition will further enhance opportunities for the customers of both organisations to access a wider network of global offices both in Southeast Asia via Interunion’s network and globally.

Interunion operates in the rapidly growing markets Southeast Asian markets of Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

The Interunion team, service offering, branch network and brand will all remain the same, and there will be no change for customers or agents on a day-to-day operational level.

Mondiale VGL, Oceania’s leading privately owned sea freight forwarder, was established through the merger of two of the largest freight companies in New Zealand and Australia: Mondiale Freight Services Ltd and VISA Global Logistics Pty Ltd (VGL), in 2021. 

Mondiale VGL acquired South Australian-based customs and logistics business, Customs Agency Services (CAS), in December 2021.

The company now employs more than 1500 staff across 56 offices in New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Europe and the USA, supported further by over 500 agency offices worldwide.
