SINGAPORE and IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MNX Global Logistics today announced that it has acquired Singapore based third-party logistics (3PL) provider Aero Express Logistics (AEL). Founded in 2003, AEL is a key logistics player serving the specialized aviation and aerospace sector using Singapore as a regional hub for their maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) work.

"Today's announcement marks the combination of two highly complementary and well-regarded players in the aviation logistics space," said Paul J. Martins, CEO, MNX Global Logistics. "This combination will provide MNX's aviation customers with better access to Singapore's growing aerospace cluster, while allowing AEL's existing customers to tap into MNX's worldwide network and technology platforms. Together both companies are better positioned to deliver enhanced service offerings and worldwide supply chain solutions to new and existing customers in the aviation, aerospace and MRO industries."

"This transaction with MNX will benefit all of AEL's existing customers," remarked Chong Han Tsong, Founder, AEL. "They will now be able to ship and manage their entire global inventory from a single platform, and have it handled by an ASA-100 accredited company. I am heartened to see that both MNX and AEL share the same values of quality, responsiveness and flexibility, bound by a singular and common goal of delivering extraordinary customer service for our customers."
