Breakbulk events serve the transport and logistics market for large-scale project equipment. They are held annually in Houston, Antwerp, Shanghai, Johannesburg, Istanbul and Sao Paulo. The acquisition also includes a print and digital magazine with expanded industry coverage along with exhibition websites that serve the global breakbulk community.
Breakbulk's main events take place in Shanghai in March, Antwerp in April and Houston in October. The current management team including Breakbulk's Managing Director, Alli McEntyre will stay with the business.
Commenting on the acquisition, ITE's Chief Executive Officer, Russell Taylor, said:
"ITE is continuing to build businesses in strategically important industry sectors and the acquisition of Breakbulk increases our presence in the global transport and logistics sector. This complementary move represents progress in achieving the Group's ambitions to expand its operations in markets and geographies with further potential for growth as well as continuing to diversify the geo-political risk in our portfolio.
I am delighted that Alli and her team will be joining ITE to strengthen our presence in the transport and logistics sector."
