Australia’s Supply Chain Cover and Crimson & Co now fully integrated

Crimson & Co, the global supply chain consultancy, has announced that Australia’s Supply Chain Cover is now fully integrated into its business. This is the culmination of a strong working relationship, which will allow the global business to build on its offering of best-in-class supply chain consultancy for global, UK and Australasian businesses.

Crimson & Co embarked on a global expansion strategy in 2014, which included opening a new office in Singapore and being joined in North America and India by The Progress Group and in Australia and New Zealand by Supply Chain Cover. In 2015 it expanded into Latin America by opening an office in Brazil. Following 16 months together, Supply Chain Cover is now taking the next step and becoming fully part of the Crimson & Co global business.
