Strategic Acquisition Creates Global Logistics Powerhouse
In a landmark transaction announced on April 21, 2026, Asyad Group, the global integrated logistics provider based in Oman, has acquired Ligentia Group, a premier UK-based technology-enabled supply chain services provider. This strategic move represents a significant milestone for both organizations, accelerating their global expansion while reinforcing their commitment to delivering innovative, end-to-end supply chain solutions to customers worldwide.
Expanding Global Footprint and Digital Capabilities
The acquisition marks Asyad Group's second major international transaction in less than two years, following their integration of Skybridge Freight Solutions in July 2024. By joining forces, the combined entity now boasts a formidable global network spanning 24 countries with operations in 76 cities worldwide. This expanded reach significantly enhances the value proposition for a combined client base exceeding 6,000 global organizations.
At the core of this strategic partnership is the integration of Ligentia's proprietary digital platform, Ligentix. This sophisticated "control tower" technology provides clients with real-time visibility, ERP integration, and predictive analytics capabilities. The platform will serve as a cornerstone of the combined group's strategy to deliver unparalleled efficiency, resilience, and agility across entire supply chain operations.
Enhanced Service Offerings and Market Expertise
The acquisition brings together complementary strengths that create a truly comprehensive suite of end-to-end fourth-party logistics (4PL) solutions. Ligentia's deep expertise in high-value sectors—including retail, consumer goods, industrial manufacturing, automotive, healthcare, and e-commerce—will enable the combined entity to deliver enhanced services across diverse industries.
Customers will benefit from a single, integrated partner capable of managing complex global supply chains from the first to the last mile, backed by world-class technology and operational excellence. Furthermore, Ligentia's established presence in key hubs across the UK, Poland, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, India, Australia, and the United States will seamlessly complement Asyad's extensive logistics infrastructure.
Sustainable Growth and Strategic Vision
Over the past decade, Asyad Group has demonstrated remarkable growth, increasing its turnover approximately seven-fold from $320 million in 2016 to an estimated annualized level exceeding $2.1 billion in 2026. The Ligentia acquisition builds on this foundation, reinforcing the Group's ability to deliver integrated, multimodal logistics solutions across the full value chain.
"This acquisition marks a defining moment for Asyad Group," said Abdulrahman Al Hatmi, Group CEO of Asyad. "By integrating Ligentia's advanced digital capabilities and global network with our world-class logistics ecosystem, we are accelerating our expansion into key international markets. This move reinforces our commitment to deliver smart, integrated logistics solutions that create long-term value for our customers and partners worldwide, unlocking new global opportunities across critical trade corridors."
Dan Gill, Group CEO of Ligentia, commented: "Joining Asyad marks an exciting new chapter for Ligentia. Over nearly three decades, we have built a customer-focused business using a combination of technology and people to deliver innovative solutions. This partnership provides the scale, global reach, and strategic investment needed to accelerate our growth while continuing to innovate and enhance the services we deliver to our customers worldwide."
The strategic transaction represents a significant step forward in the evolution of global logistics, combining traditional operational excellence with cutting-edge digital capabilities to meet the increasingly complex demands of international supply chains in an era of rapid technological advancement and global economic integration.
