FFE Transportation Services Inc (FFE), the Dallas TX-based refrigerated transporter, has entered into a strategic alliance with Nobis Logistics LLC, a third-party logistics company.

Charles Robertson, chief operating officer of FFE, said, "We have had numerous opportunities for strategic alliances with minority/women-owned firms and businesses but have never found the level of capability and technology represented by Nobis. We are delighted to partner with Nobis and expect to enhance service offerings to our customer base.”

Jane Redman, president of Nobis, said, “The inspiration to form a world-class logistics operation has been the evolution of over 17 years of supply chain and logistics challenges, now answered with a single highly integrated solution.”

Nobis provides transaction management, network optimization, claims management, strategic supply chain strategies, and financial management and reporting.
