CARY — MercuryGate International, a Cary-based logistics technology company, is expanding its footprint globally.
Among its initiatives: localized TMS service and support in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), as well as offering MercuryGate TMS solutions and support to new customers and prospects based in EMEA, the company announced today.
Coupled with the expansion, MercuryGate named supply chain veteran Simon Fahie as Managing Director who will build out the organization. Fahie will report to MercuryGate President and CEO Joe Juliano.
“MercuryGate customers conduct business all over the world, leveraging our platform in 126 countries,” Juliano said in a statement. “Their success depends on our ability to operate alongside their enterprise. Starting with a presence in EMEA was a natural fit because not only does a large percentage of our current customer base operate there, we see robust interest in the number of customers approaching us for their EMEA-based operations. Our current and future EMEA customers will have the added value of a MercuryGate team on the ground who understands local needs and requirements, are familiar with their unique operational needs, and can expertly implement solutions that benefit their local and global enterprises.”
The EMEA office will start operations in the United Kingdom (UK).
“Fahie brings broad service, support, sales and marketing experience having managed EMEA and APAC market-based organizations. As a veteran in the international supply chain industry, Fahie has a deep understanding of the ongoing and changing requirements of these markets and a proven track record for starting and growing successful teams, the firm said
Founded in 2000, MercuryGate makes software solution for complex transportation freight management. In 2017, it managed more than $70 billion a year. Back in 2018, it was acquired by Summit Partners, a Boston alternative investment company. Financial terms were not disclosed.
