Supply Chain Visibility
About
ACQUIRED BY UNITED TECHNOLOGIES (NYSE: UTX) Bridge Investments led a growth equity investment in FreightWatch International (now “SensiGuard” under United Technologies). A global leader in SaaS logistics security services, FreightWatch provided companies with complete cargo security and supply chain integrity from origin to destination. The growth capital provided by Bridge Investments enabled FreightWatch to grow its business both in the US and abroad as well as to develop new technologies, such as real-time temperature monitoring. After nearly doubling EBITDA, Bridge led the sale of FreightWatch to United Technologies (NYSE: UTX).
As the lead investor, Bridge worked side by side with our management team to help scale FreightWatch International. We grew from a mid-sized logistics security business in a niche industry to a more diversified company that ultimately became a valuable strategic fit for United Technologies. Bridge understands the true nature of collaboration, and we have always enjoyed working with their team.
