Global private equity investment firm TPG Capital has announced plans to acquire transportation and logistics management company Transplace, with the deal expected to close in September.

With a customer base of 1,000 merchants, Transplace is a leading provider of supply chain consultancy and transportation management solutions in North America.

President of the firm Frank McGuigan expressed his enthusiasm in the partnership, confident that it will provide a strong platform to further the growth of Transplace.
