C.H. Robinson

C.H. Robinson Worldwide is one of the world's largest third-party logistics (3PL) providers, managing $23 billion in freight annually and delivering comprehensive supply chain solutions to over 100,000 customers globally. Founded in 1905 as a produce brokerage by Charles Henry Robinson, the company has evolved over 119 years into a technology-enabled global logistics powerhouse operating from more than 300 offices across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America with over 15,000 employees.

With 2024 revenues of $17.7 billion, C.H. Robinson combines industry-leading technology platforms - including the Navisphere global TMS used by nearly 200,000 companies - with deep logistics expertise to orchestrate transportation and supply chain solutions across all modes: truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL), air freight, intermodal, and ocean. The company's digital transformation under CEO Dave Bozeman (appointed June 2023) focuses on integrating advanced technology including AI agents, managed solutions, and end-to-end visibility to deliver measurable value for shippers.

C.H. Robinson went public in 1997 with a $743 million market valuation (NASDAQ: CHRW) and has since grown through strategic acquisitions including Phoenix International ($635M, 2012), which doubled ocean freight capacity, and Prime Distribution Services ($225M, 2020), which expanded the company into warehouse management. In 2024, the company divested its European Surface Transportation operations to sennder for EUR 1.4 billion, allowing C.H. Robinson to focus on core North American and global forwarding operations.

Under Bozeman's leadership, C.H. Robinson has accelerated innovation including launching Managed Solutions in November 2024 (integrating 3PL, 4PL, and TMS technology), introducing an AI agent for LTL freight classification in June 2025, and expanding its digital freight matching capabilities. The company's TMC division provides managed services combining global TMS technology with supply chain engineering talent across international Control Tower locations, serving enterprises seeking to optimize complex supply chains while maintaining control over carrier relationships.
