AIT Worldwide Logistics Acquired by Greenbriar Equity Group — Logistics M&A

Greenbriar Equity Group, a private equity investor based in Greenwich, Connecticut, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AIT Worldwide Logistics, a global freight forwarder headquartered in Connecticut. The transaction is structured as a platform acquisition, with Greenbriar investing in AIT while The Jordan Company and members of AIT’s executive leadership team are expected to remain invested. The deal is described as one of the largest private acquisitions in the global freight forwarding sector, with deal size reported as over $100 million.

AIT Worldwide Logistics provides international logistics and freight forwarding services, supporting customers’ access to global markets. The acquisition follows a five-year period under The Jordan Company during which AIT expanded its global footprint, completed multiple acquisitions, and grew revenue substantially. Greenbriar’s involvement is intended to provide continuity and accelerate AIT’s next growth phase, combining organic expansion with additional acquisitions, as the company targets long-term operational and financial goals through 2030.

Transaction closing is expected to occur before the fourth quarter of 2026. The agreement positions Greenbriar to deepen its exposure to transportation and logistics while scaling AIT’s integrated logistics capabilities across sectors including technology and life sciences.
