MNX, headquartered in Long Beach, California, with offices in Singapore, Amsterdam, and Melbourne, is an industry leader in time-critical logistics and managed transportation services serving the biopharmaceutical, life sciences, high tech, medical device, aviation, entertainment, government, and financial industries. MNX’s same-day services support the distribution of surgical kits, lifesaving medical treatments, and critical service-parts, and help rescue grounded aircraft through its Aircraft-On-Ground precision logistics services.

Since Audax’ investment in 2018, MNX has undergone a period of rapid growth and transformation, including expanding its global footprint and solidifying its presence in healthcare and aviation end-markets. The acquisitions of both the Express Division of Network Global Logistics and Global First supported MNX’s global growth plan and commitment to continuously increase the capabilities that its customers demand.

David Wong, Managing Director at Audax, stated, “We are proud of all that has been accomplished during our partnership with MNX.
