MHS Global, a global provider of material handling automation and systems integration, and Fortna, a software and solutions provider for warehouse distribution, have merged and announced that they will now act as a single combined entity, known under the name Fortna.
According to the pair, this merger marks the combination of decades of experience in the design, development and delivery of omnichannel and parcel distribution solutions.
“The decision to retain the legacy Fortna name was the result of careful consideration,” said Rob McKeel, CEO of Fortna. “We chose the name Fortna not only for the great reputation the name already has in the market, but because of the strength and resilience embedded within it.
“It speaks to what our customers need in today’s climate and what they can expect from our partnership – the ability to weather the ever-changing market conditions and come out thriving.”
The companies completed the transaction in April 2022 for an undisclosed price, with both firms belonging to the investment portfolio of Thomas H. Lee Partners (THL), a private equity firm, which will remain as the majority owner of the entity.
