Palletforce and CM Downton owner, EV Cargo, incorporates in the UK

EV Cargo has incorporated in the UK, according to documents published at Companies House.

EmergeVest-owned EV Cargo broke cover last autumn as a new parent company and corporate brand pulling together a diverse portfolio of road transport businesses.

These comprise NFT Distribution, CM Downton, Palletforce, software firm Adjuno, freight-forwarder Allport Cargo Services and 4PL Jigsaw.

However, it was not a legal entity in the UK until this point and its parent company, Zarin's EmergeVest, is an investment firm registered in Hong Kong.

Following incorporation, EV Cargo UK Holdings’ registered address is listed as Clover Nook Industrial Estate in Alfreton in the East Midlands, which it now shares with NFT Distribution.
