"Further expansion of our international freight forwarding network is one of our core growth strategies, and Triune is an excellent introduction for us into one of the world's fastest-growing economies," said Jeff Scovill, C.H. Robinson vice president of international. "They are a great company with a driven, service-oriented team of people and a well-balanced mix of forwarding services and customers. With Triune on board we can offer full coverage from northern to southern India, and we have a key platform to develop the C.H. Robinson network further into Southeast Asia."

In addition to acquiring selected assets of Triune, C.H. Robinson has offered employment to all of its existing employees. T.J. Srinivasaraj, 36, the managing director of Triune, will continue with the company as C.H. Robinson's director of Indian subcontinent.
