Sequel International Logistics (USA) Inc. has approximately 15 employees and the annual revenue in 2017 was approximately USD 2.6 million.
The business will be reported in segment International and consolidated into Loomis as of closing of the transaction.

“With this step Loomis will enhance its position within the International Valuables Logistics in the US market and expands the diamonds and jewelry product portfolio. Sequel in India will also become a partner to Loomis International. The partnership will benefit both parties as Sequel is the largest secure logistic provider in India and complements Loomis position in the US. We look forward to developing this partnership and welcome the new employees and customers joining us in the US” says Patrik Andersson, President and CEO of Loomis.
