Scan Global Logistics expands European network with new office in Ireland

Scan Global Logistics (SGL), a leading provider of transport and logistics solutions, has opened its first office in Ireland, marking a significant expansion in its European operations. This new location strengthens SGL’s capabilities in a vital trade region, positioning the company to better serve both local and international customers with comprehensive logistics solutions.

The expansion into Ireland is part of SGL’s broader growth strategy in Europe. Ireland, with its strategic position as a gateway between North America and Europe, is an important logistics hub for transatlantic trade. Its proximity to major trade lanes enhances SGL’s ability to facilitate seamless connections across air and ocean transport, reinforcing its global network.

Lars Syberg, CEO of EMEA at SGL, emphasised the importance of this expansion: “Our move into Ireland reflects our focus on enhancing our presence in key markets. By establishing a strong foothold here, we can provide more tailored and efficient logistics solutions to meet our customers’ evolving needs.”

Neil Murray, Managing Director of SGL UK & Ireland, added, “Ireland’s location is pivotal for supporting our global growth goals. With this new office, we can enhance our agility in addressing local and international logistics challenges.”

The Ireland office will be led by Scott Darcy, the newly appointed Country Director, under the leadership of Neil Murray. The company plans to further expand its team in Ireland as part of its long-term strategy for sustainable growth in the region.

This move follows SGL’s earlier expansions in 2024, which included acquiring Foppiani Shipping & Logistics in Italy and entering the Saudi Arabian market, underscoring the company’s commitment to building a stronger, more versatile global network.
