Manitoulin Global Forwarding Expands into Costa Rica

Manitoulin Global Forwarding (MGF), a leader in international freight forwarding, has announced its acquisition of Multimodal, a family-run logistics company based in Costa Rica. This move marks a major milestone in MGF’s expansion strategy into Central America, boosting its market presence and enhancing service capabilities.

Strengthening Market Presence in Costa Rica

Multimodal, known for its exceptional service and strong local ties, has been a key player in Costa Rica's logistics sector. The acquisition ensures continuity, as the current leadership, the Zamora family, will remain in place to manage the company. Their expertise in the local market will help facilitate a smooth transition while retaining the company’s unique strengths.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Multimodal team into our family and are committed to supporting their continued success,” said Dwayne Hihn, President of the Manitoulin Non-asset Group. “The Zamora family’s deep understanding of the local market and their dedication to customer satisfaction aligns perfectly with our values and vision.”

Rebranding and Future Plans

While MGF plans to rebrand Multimodal to align with its corporate identity, the company will maintain Multimodal’s customer-centric approach and values. This acquisition enhances MGF's service offerings, providing expanded logistics solutions to clients in Costa Rica and across Central America.
