Benchmark International Facilitated the Transaction of Christian Network International to Symbia Logistics

The seller, Christian Network International, is one of the largest independent Christian product fulfillment and distribution companies in the world. CNI represents various book, music, and film publishers and ministries from around the USA to the retail, church, and consumer end markets. Their award-winning service and state-of-the-art computer networking systems enable them to attract and retain customers.  

Ed Clydsdale, CEO of Christian Network International, said about the deal: “Benchmark (Nashville) has an outstanding level of professionalism and counsel that made our company sale as smooth and seamless as possible. For most private owners…selling their business can be a very intense and anxiety-producing process. However, Matt and his team walked side-by-side with us each step of the way, never once pressuring us into something we didn’t want…instead listening intently and helping to guide and steer us to our ultimate goal. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results and owe much of that success to Benchmark…which exceeded all of our expectations.”

You built a great company; now build a great exit plan.

The Buyer, Symbia Logistics, is a Colorado-based third-party custom logistics solutions provider. Symbia is the preferred choice for businesses seeking warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution. They are a multi-generational, family-owned enterprise with dedicated account managers who provide white glove service.

“Ed and his team at CNI have been trailblazers in the Christian product fulfillment space for decades. It was easy for Symbia to see their value and want to be associated with CNI’s magic. We wish all parties great success with this new chapter.” – Matthew Kekelis, Senior Director, Benchmark International
