GlobalTranz, a Phoenix-based supply chain logistics company, announced the completion of $40 million in Series C funding, according to a press release Monday.
“Our technology and agent offering is the best in our industry right now, and I am excited to work with the Susquehanna and Providence teams. This investment is going to help in our goal of getting to 1 billion in annual gross revenue by 2016,” said Andrew Leto, CEO of GlobalTranz in the press release.
The funding was led by Providence Equity and Susquehanna Growth Equity.
Mark Hastings of Providence Equity, and managing director of Providence Strategic Growth, led the round of funding and will be joining GlobalTranz’ Board of Directors, according to the press release.
“GlobalTranz is a perfect fit for PSG’s investment strategy of identifying companies that have the opportunity to disrupt large industry segments by applying new technology to solve industry problems. The company’s track record of consistent high growth makes it a compelling investment. We are looking forward to working with Andrew Leto and his team to help solidify GlobalTranz’s position as one of the dominant providers of technology enabled transportation services,” said Hastings.
