MEMPHIS, TN, UNITED STATES, October 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Logistics industry veterans Rich Bolte, Paul Svindland, and Carmen Gerace (“CoPilot Global Logistics Holdings, LLC” or “CoPilot”), in partnership with Endeavour, are pleased to announce the acquisition of Mallory Alexander (“Mallory” or the “Company”).

We will preserve each company’s operating strengths and local leadership as we scale. Integrating administrative functions and building a unified, customer‐focused culture will be a priority and a competitive advantage.”
