About American Global Logistics

American Global Logistics (AGL), established in 2007 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, operates as a non-asset-based provider of customized supply chain solutions. The firm functions as a third-party (3PL) and fourth-party (4PL) logistics provider, focusing on end-to-end multi-modal transportation services. The company’s business model centers on offering bespoke logistics solutions to a select group of clients, ensuring a high level of attention and service. Revenue is generated by managing freight for customers across various industries, including automotive, food, household goods, and furniture.

AGL’s service portfolio is comprehensive, covering ocean, air, and domestic transportation, complemented by customs brokerage, compliance consultation, carrier allocation management, warehousing, and distribution. A key component of its offering is a proprietary, cloud-based technology platform. This system provides clients with real-time shipment visibility, data analytics, and forecasting, which allows for greater control over their supply chain. Recently, the company introduced its AI-driven Terraportation strategy, a platform designed to streamline supply chain management for importers through seamless integration with ERP and accounting systems, which has led to demonstrable reductions in supply chain costs for its clients.

The company's history includes several significant milestones. In June 2016, NexPhase Capital, a private equity firm, acquired AGL in a buyout transaction, with CEO Chad Rosenberg and COO Jim Briles continuing to lead the company. Amid industry-wide pressures from fluctuating freight rates and tariffs, AGL experienced financial challenges which led to its acquisition by Terra Worldwide Logistics (TWL) in March 2020. This acquisition was a strategic move to rebalance AGL's capital structure and inject necessary liquidity. Following this, in December 2020, TWL also acquired Connect Global Logistics, which was subsequently integrated and began operating under the AGL tradename.
