Singapore-based logistics company Amilo has completed its acquisition of cross-border specialist SG Link, which has operated in Vietnam since 2020, and integrated the business under the ShipX brand, marking its fourth acquisition in four years.

The transaction’s financial terms were not disclosed. SG Link brings cross-border shipping capabilities to Amilo’s existing network spanning warehousing, fulfilment, transportation, customs and delivery.

The two companies had been working together even before the acquisition was disclosed. Amilo and SG Link introduced ShipX in 2025 as a strategic partnership to help small and medium-sized businesses in Southeast Asia sell overseas. SG Link subsequently moved to the ShipX brand and platform.

According to Amilo, ShipX now connects Southeast Asian merchants with buyers in more than 220 destinations. The platform pools shipment volumes and combines carrier access, customs documentation, duties and tracking, allowing smaller merchants to use international logistics infrastructure without building their own networks.

The deal also extends an acquisition strategy that Amilo has been pursuing across Southeast Asia. Instead of letting acquired companies stay on separate systems, the group says it migrates them onto a common technology stack covering marketplaces, order and warehouse management, transportation, customs and delivery.

That approach could become increasingly important as Amilo tries to build a regional logistics platform out of local operators across markets where different technology systems and country-specific processes can make integration difficult.

In 2024, Amilo acquired Thailand’s Sivadon Logistics, adding a nationwide Thai network to operations that already covered Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam. At the time, the company said it was looking for further acquisitions of established and profitable logistics businesses as part of an effort to build a Southeast Asian full-service logistics operator.

The SG Link integration is adding cross-border capability to that model.

Amilo said the combined business recorded positive growth in the first half of 2026 despite pressure from fuel prices and tariffs, although it did not disclose revenue or shipment volumes.

The group now plans to use the common operating system as a base for greater automation and artificial intelligence across logistics workflows. Its immediate test, however, will be whether bringing acquired businesses onto one platform produces measurable efficiencies as the network expands, rather than simply adding scale through successive acquisitions.
