Chicago-based Echo Global Logistics has said it will increase its offices in Arizona to accommodate additional employees from its acquisition of Advantage Transport.
Echo acquired Advantage Transport, a $26 million truckload freight brokerage company, in July of 2011 and has now signed a lease for an 11,000 square-foot office in Scottsdale. The new office will allow Echo to expand its staff in the area from 54 employees to 120.
Last year, Echo increased its revenue 41 percent, to $602.8 million, and stated a goal of reaching more than $1.3 billion in annual sales over the next five years.
