UK parcel delivery giant Evri is set to expand its reach into the United States delivery market through the acquisition of Florida-based courier Cross Border Connect. The deal, announced on Monday, bolsters Evri's capabilities in supporting customers moving parcels between the UK and the United States by merging the company's scale with Cross Border Connect's expertise in technology and domestic U.S. delivery.
This acquisition is part of Evri's broader international growth strategy, which has seen the company gain a significant minority stake in DHL eCommerce in mid-2025, later integrating those operations into Evri's own business. Evri currently handles over a billion parcels and three billion business letters annually. The CEO of the newly acquired firm, Chris Lentjes, will continue his role at Evri.
Analysts note that the increasing number of last-mile delivery and cross-border logistics providers is leading to consolidation within the industry. Evri's CEO, David Saenz, highlighted Cross Border Connect's deep knowledge of the U.S. market, strong carrier relationships, and innovative technology, which will enhance the company's international operations and provide customers with more efficient and cost-effective delivery options.
