The freight it hauls usually weathers recessions well, the release said. “Roadtex brings an expertise with temperature-controlled deliveries into big box retail that few can match,” said Dave Menzel, president and COO at Echo. “Not only will this help Echo expand in this area, but we are also bringing on an experienced, well-regarded management team led by co-founders Bruno Ciacciarelli and Bob Kelly, and we are excited about the opportunity to partner with them.” Chicago-based freight broker Echo was recently taken private by The Jordan Co. (TJC) in a deal valued at $1.3 billion . At the time of the announcement, Echo’s management highlighted the benefits of becoming a portfolio company of TJC, which included a bigger pocketbook to competitively pursue M&A. Echo has made more than 20 acquisitions since it was founded in 2005. TJC has more than $19 billion in capital commitments, including other portfolio companies in the supply chain. That list includes AIT Worldwide Logistics, Capstone and Odyssey. TJC briefly owned GlobalTranz as well. “We are excited to have our dedicated team of professionals join the Echo family,” said Ciacciarelli, co-founder and head of transportation at Roadtex. “As we have gotten to know the Echo team it was clear our cultures are very similar, and the benefits to joining the Echo team would be substantial for our team members and clients.” Stifel acted as financial adviser to Roadtex in the transaction.
