Fr. Meyer’s Sohn (FMS), the Hamburg-based global logistics company, has announced the successful acquisition of CFT Corporation (CFT), a Canadian logistics specialist based in Toronto with strong expertise in North American agricultural logistics.
This acquisition marks a strategic step in reinforcing FMS’s regional focus in Canada and further expanding its capabilities in the agricultural products sector — a key growth area within the company’s global commodity portfolio. FMS already operates an established branch in Vancouver, and the addition of CFT significantly strengthens its regional footprint and customer proximity.
CFT is recognized for its comprehensive logistics solutions and longstanding customer relationships across North America. With Fr. Meyer’s Sohn’s 128-year history in logistics and its global network spanning more than 35 countries, the combination of both companies creates significant synergies and enhanced service capabilities for customers worldwide.
“This acquisition further strengthens our regional presence in Canada and reinforces our strategic focus on agricultural commodities,” said Heiko Voigt, Managing Director of Fr. Meyer’s Sohn. “By combining CFT’s regional expertise with FMS’s global network and long-term investment approach, we are further expanding our ability to deliver seamless, high-quality logistics solutions to our customers in the agricultural sector.”
For CFT’s customers and partners, day-to-day operations with their known contact persons will remain unchanged. CFT’s team will continue to lead the business in Toronto. The company will retain its name in the market, reflecting its strong local reputation and established brand presence.
“We are excited to join the Fr. Meyer’s Sohn global network,” said Steven Pocklington, CEO of CFT. “This partnership provides us with greater global backing while maintaining the personal service and expertise our customers value. Together, we will deliver even greater reach and capability.”
The acquisition underlines FMS’s continued commitment to strategic growth in key international markets and to investing in long-term partnerships that strengthen its global logistics network.
