Ozburn-Hessey Logistics, or OHL, is a former American logistics company, acquired by Geodis. It began business in 1951 in Nashville, Tennessee, at one point one of the largest third-party logistics companies in the USA. [1]

Acquisition

In 2015, Geodis, a French logistics company and division of SNCF, acquired OHL and dissolved it (it did not remain a subsidiary company). Taking over OHL's 120 distribution centers and all of its US operations, Geodis gained a very strategic market share in the American logistics industry. [2]
