Firms in the Third Party Logistics (3PL) Private Equity Funds directory are ordered based on recent deal activity on Axial. The default order reflects observed market signals rather than a subjective ranking of firm quality.

Each profile provides information about the firm’s areas of focus, transaction criteria, and relevant activity on Axial’s M&A platform. Together, these details provide a clearer view of where a firm is active and the types of companies and opportunities most relevant for it.

Based on activity on Axial’s M&A platform, the core revenue range for Third Party Logistics (3PL) Private Equity Funds is $3M-$19M, with a core EBITDA range of $800K-$4M. Company size can be an important indicator of fit, as firms often concentrate their experience, resources, and transaction activity within particular segments of the market.

Relevant Distribution experience can be an important consideration when evaluating a firm. Familiarity with the sector can provide a stronger understanding of its business models, market dynamics, valuation considerations, and transaction environment.
