JAS is thrilled to welcome Multilogistics S.p.A. and Setoa S.p.A., which officially join the group on May 27 and July 10, respectively, following the acquisitions led by JAS Jet Air Service SpA. 

With the acquisition of Multilogistics, JAS strengthens its logistics presence in Europe and is preparing to expand its offerings to customers in the increasingly in-demand vertical sector of Contract Logistics. Multilogistics is known for its highly specialized and customized customer solutions, thanks to the deep experience that has always distinguished it in the logistics sector.

Multilogistics is based in Liscate (Milan), not far from the original offices where JAS began its journey and which over the last four decades have led it to significant global growth. The success achieved is certainly the result of choosing to collaborate and select companies that, like Multilogistics, invest in their employees and maintain high standards in customer services.

"We are thrilled to join forces with JAS Jet Air Service and the JAS Worldwide Group, a recognized leader in the global logistics industry," said Massimo Mirizzi, President and CEO of Multilogistics. This partnership offers tremendous opportunities for our team and our customers. By combining our local expertise with JAS Worldwide's global reach and innovative, sustainable solutions, we can offer our customers added value in their business and excellent service."

With the acquisition of Setoa S.p.A., JAS further expands its business into new markets, adding West Africa in particular among the territories now covered directly by its services. Thanks to Setoa's entry into the group, JAS's offer now expands to Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Ghana, Gabon, Congo, Mali and Burkina Faso.

"Both of these acquisitions represent an important step in our growth strategy and I am confident that they will create new synergies that will better meet the needs of our customers with an advanced range of logistics solutions expanding our global footprint with these new markets," said Leonardo Baldi, Regional Vice President and CEO of JAS Italy. 

Since 1997, Setoa has boasted considerable experience in a complex and peculiar market such as the African one and can offer a highly customized service to customers. Its expertise gained over almost thirty years in this niche market, combined with JAS's experience and vast worldwide network, will contribute to enriching the offer to customers with complete and innovative solutions.

"The acquisition of Setoa Italia S.p.A. by the JAS Group marks an important evolution in the expansion and strengthening of our global capabilities," said Massimo Boccadelli, CEO of Setoa Italia S.p.A. "This combination will allow us to offer our customers an even wider range of innovative services and solutions, consolidating our leadership in the international shipping sector in West Africa. The collaboration between Setoa and JAS will redefine the market standards in Africa, opening up new prospects for growth and success worldwide."

This June, the Bruni Foundation has been busy planting seeds of change and nurturing community spirit across the world. From the mountains of Peru to the coasts of Indonesia and the heart of Malaysia and Cambodia, this month’s initiatives have brought people together in the spirit of sustainability and support. Here’s a snapshot of how we have been making a difference, one community at a time.

In Peru, the Pay It Forward effort was made possible through a partnership with JAS Peru, Sweet Child Peru, and The Green Heroes Educational Center. The project supported Andean communities by providing environmental education and nutritious meals to children. Community members enjoyed activities such as tree planting and soap making, all centered on sustainability and ecological education.

In Indonesia, the Bruni Foundation funded a mangrove planting event at Taman Wisata Alam (TWA) Mangrove Angke Kapuk. Thirty JAS Indonesia volunteers planted mangrove trees to support coastal protection and biodiversity. This event marked the first sustainability program held by JAS Indonesia in 2024.

In Malaysia, the JAS team participated in a donation drive at a local orphanage, the House of Love.  JAS Malaysia employees provided donations and spent time with the children living at the home. The joy and gratitude shared during this event emphasized the importance of community support.

In Cambodia, JAS and Inter-Campus Cambodia partnered to provide essential educational and sports materials to over 300 children. This included delivering sports equipment, school backpacks, and other learning materials.

Reflecting on the past month, we’re filled with excitement for what is ahead. The Bruni Foundation remains committed to empowering communities through education, environmental stewardship, and social support. We are grateful for the dedication of our volunteers and partners, whose efforts make these initiatives possible. Together, we will continue to make a difference, one project at a time.
