California-based logistics technology company Trimble Navigation today acquired ALK Technologies, a privately owned Princeton, N.J.-based company that specializes in transportation tools.
The addition of ALK is expected to extend and complement Trimble’s Transportation and Logistics product portfolio and will be reported as part of Trimble’s mobile solutions segment. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
"The combination of ALK's routing, mapping, mileage and navigation capabilities with our enterprise transportation management software and the mobile communications solutions under the Trimble Transportation and Logistics umbrella supports our comprehensive and industry-focused technology approach," said David Wangler, president of TMW Systems, a Trimble company, in a written statement.
