Mercury recently acquired King Courier, a San Francisco-based logistics provider serving health care, biotech, legal, and professional services to customers throughout Northern California. The acquisition expands Mercury’s operations in the San Francisco market while extending additional logistics capabilities to King Courier customers.
King Courier employs nearly 30 drivers, dispatchers, and operations personnel and is known for its local courier services, including bicycle and vehicle deliveries throughout the San Francisco region.
Under the acquisition, existing King Courier customers will continue receiving local delivery services while gaining access to Mercury's international shipping network, cold-chain transportation services, proprietary customer portal, and 24/7 support teams.
"We've had a partnership with King Courier for nearly 10 years, based on mutual trust and providing the best service for our customers," said Josh Medow, CEO of Mercury. "To continue this and provide even more comprehensive service to our customers, combining our teams was a natural next step. We're now expanding our on-the-ground presence in San Francisco while giving King Courier's customers access to Mercury's broader health care, cold chain, domestic, and international shipping capabilities."
