Allstates WorldCargo Acquires Red Arrow Logistics to Expand Nationwide Freight and Logistics Capabilities
Allstates WorldCargo, a leading name in global logistics, freight forwarding, and transportation solutions, has officially announced the acquisition of Red Arrow Logistics, a Seattle-based freight forwarder renowned for its expertise in time-sensitive and high-value shipments. This strategic move marks a significant step in Allstates WorldCargo’s ongoing growth strategy, particularly strengthening its operational presence in the Pacific Northwest and enhancing the depth of its specialized freight solutions across critical industries.
Strategic Expansion into the Pacific Northwest
The acquisition of Red Arrow Logistics provides Allstates WorldCargo with an immediate and substantial presence in the Pacific Northwest—an increasingly vital region for domestic and international freight due to its proximity to major ports and growing industrial base. Headquartered in Seattle, Red Arrow has long been a trusted logistics provider for customers requiring rapid, customized, and secure freight services. With this acquisition, Allstates WorldCargo significantly expands its geographic reach and adds valuable operational capabilities to its portfolio.
“The Pacific Northwest represents a strategic growth corridor for us, and Red Arrow is a perfect fit,” said Kendra Tanner, President and CEO of Allstates WorldCargo. “They bring a legacy of precision, responsiveness, and a customer-first mindset that aligns perfectly with our mission. This acquisition not only expands our footprint—it elevates our ability to offer specialized logistics services to our customers nationwide.”
Red Arrow’s Legacy of Excellence
Founded in 2003, Red Arrow Logistics has built a strong reputation for its white-glove logistics services, particularly in sectors where speed and precision are non-negotiable. With clients spanning the aerospace, high-tech, electronics, consumer goods, and retail industries, Red Arrow has consistently demonstrated its ability to deliver high-stakes shipments under tight deadlines with exceptional reliability.
Over the past two decades, Red Arrow has distinguished itself by developing customized logistics solutions tailored to unique client needs. From coordinating multimodal shipments to managing last-mile delivery in critical environments, the company has earned the trust of global brands that require more than standard freight forwarding. Its success has been fueled by a commitment to operational transparency, agility, and unwavering attention to detail—traits that align seamlessly with Allstates WorldCargo’s customer-centric philosophy.
A Shared Vision and Unified Culture
The cultural alignment between the two organizations was a driving force behind the transaction. According to both companies, the integration of Red Arrow into the Allstates WorldCargo family is not just a merger of operations but a convergence of values. Both companies are deeply committed to service excellence, innovative logistics solutions, and long-term client relationships.
“We are thrilled to welcome Red Arrow to the Allstates WorldCargo family,” said Tanner. “Their deep industry expertise, especially in time-sensitive and high-value freight, fits perfectly into our strategic vision. Red Arrow’s people-first culture and operational integrity are aligned with ours, which will make this transition seamless for customers and employees alike.”
From Red Arrow’s perspective, the partnership offers an opportunity to scale while preserving the quality and responsiveness that clients expect. “Joining Allstates WorldCargo enables us to take our capabilities to the next level,” said Liz Lasater, Founder and CEO of Red Arrow Logistics. “We’ll be able to tap into a global infrastructure, leverage advanced logistics technologies, and expand our service offerings—all while maintaining the personalized service our clients value. We’re excited about the future and what we can accomplish together.”
Leadership Continuity and Brand Integration
As part of the acquisition agreement, Red Arrow Logistics will be fully integrated under the Allstates WorldCargo brand, reinforcing a unified national identity. However, the transition will be structured to ensure full service continuity for all clients. Red Arrow’s leadership, staff, and operational teams will remain intact during the integration process, minimizing any disruption to existing relationships.
To maintain consistency and ensure strategic alignment, Liz Lasater will join Allstates WorldCargo’s executive team in a senior leadership role. Her continued involvement signals the companies’ shared commitment to preserving Red Arrow’s legacy while leveraging new opportunities under the Allstates banner.
“Liz brings invaluable experience and a client-focused perspective to our leadership team,” added Tanner. “She’s a visionary who understands both the art and science of logistics. Her insights will be instrumental as we shape our next phase of growth.”
Enhanced Capabilities for Customers
For customers of both organizations, the acquisition promises access to an expanded suite of logistics services, improved operational scale, and broader geographic coverage. Red Arrow clients will now benefit from Allstates WorldCargo’s global freight forwarding capabilities, warehousing network, and sophisticated transportation management systems. Conversely, Allstates customers will gain access to Red Arrow’s specialty services in expedited and mission-critical logistics, adding depth to Allstates’ offerings in high-performance sectors.
This merger is also expected to accelerate innovation in service delivery, thanks to the combined technological resources of both firms. Allstates WorldCargo’s investment in digital logistics platforms, real-time tracking, and AI-powered shipment optimization will be complemented by Red Arrow’s agile and customized logistics models. Together, the companies are poised to offer an enhanced logistics experience that emphasizes transparency, efficiency, and dependability.
The acquisition of Red Arrow Logistics by Allstates WorldCargo reflects a broader trend of consolidation in the logistics and transportation industry, as companies seek to build end-to-end supply chain capabilities and increase resilience. In a time of global supply chain volatility, the ability to offer customized, high-reliability logistics solutions is more valuable than ever.
With this acquisition, Allstates WorldCargo not only gains a respected regional player with deep expertise—it also signals to the market its intent to lead with excellence, scale with purpose, and prioritize customers in every decision.
“This is a win for both companies and, most importantly, a win for our customers,” concluded Tanner. “We are stronger together, and we’re ready to deliver even greater value, performance, and peace of mind across the entire logistics journey.”
As the integration moves forward, both organizations will focus on preserving what made each company successful, while building a stronger, unified brand equipped for the future of global logistics.
