SEKO Logistics has announced the acquisition of Pixior LLC, a California-based third-party logistics provider specializing in high-end e-commerce fulfillment for fashion brands. The strategic move significantly expands SEKO's warehouse capacity and value-added service capabilities in the competitive e-commerce logistics sector.
Strategic Expansion in Premium E-Commerce
The acquisition positions SEKO to better serve luxury brands requiring specialized handling, including garment steaming, embroidery, and other premium services. Pixior operates seven West Coast facilities with a combined 1.8 million square feet of warehouse space, primarily serving the Los Angeles market.
SEKO CEO James Gagne stated, "This acquisition solidifies our industry leadership in end-to-end logistics solutions and represents a significant leap in U.S. fulfillment capabilities. Pixior's demonstrated execution excellence in constrained markets aligns perfectly with our growth strategy."
Complementary Capabilities
Brian Bourke, SEKO's Chief Growth Officer, highlighted Pixior's expertise in high-touch fulfillment services as a key differentiator. "Their West Coast facility network and ability to rapidly develop new spaces in tight real estate markets provide immediate synergies," Bourke explained.
The combined operation will offer expanded transportation capacity, including 1,000 additional chassis units to enhance port operations efficiency. SEKO plans to grow the combined warehouse footprint to 2.4 million square feet by Q3 2023.
Market Growth Potential
The transaction comes as SEKO projects its e-commerce business to exceed $1 billion by 2025. The company has been actively seeking opportunities to expand core capabilities, particularly in the U.S. market.
"This creates mutual benefits," Bourke noted. "Pixior clients gain access to our global freight forwarding network and enhanced last-mile delivery, while SEKO strengthens its premium fulfillment offerings."
Leadership Continuity
Pixior CEO Yassine Amallal will continue leading the business unit, which will eventually rebrand as SEKO Ecommerce Fulfillment. Amallal cited SEKO's global infrastructure and operational reputation as key factors in the partnership decision.
The acquisition follows SEKO's pattern of strategic expansion in e-commerce logistics since entering the sector in 2011. The company has previously doubled its Southern California footprint through facilities in Carson and Chino prior to the Pixior transaction.
