Acquisition

In 2015, Geodis, a French logistics company and division of SNCF, acquired OHL and dissolved it (it did not remain a subsidiary company). Taking over OHL's 120 distribution centers and all of its US operations, Geodis gained a very strategic market share in the American logistics industry.^[2]
