ACG Announces Strategic Partnership with Enterprise Purchasing Group to Offer Shipping Savings for Members

Chicago, IL — September 8, 2026 — The Association for Corporate Growth^® (ACG) today announced a strategic partnership with Enterprise Purchasing Group (epg), the world’s leading group purchasing organization for logistics procurement.

Through this partnership, ACG members can access epg’s shipping and logistics savings program, which leverages billions of dollars in shipping spend and robust data analysis to secure competitive shipping contracts and practical logistics solutions.

The partnership with epg is designed to help ACG members and their portfolio companies reduce their shipping costs on everything from small parcels mailed with UPS or DHL, to less-than-truckload and truckload shipments, to ocean freight. By working with epg, ACG members also gain access to competitive shipping insurance rates, advanced shipping analytics, invoice audit technology, cash-back opportunities on eligible purchases, and dedicated support.

"Epg has enjoyed serving ACG as an annual sponsor and exclusive logistics provider since 2021. Now, we're thrilled to help them develop an industry-best member offer program, providing ACG members with epg's ultra-competitive shipping and logistics contracts," said Jordan Zapotechne, epg's chief revenue officer. "ACG's network of growing middle-market companies has always been a great fit for epg, and we're confident this program will deliver significant savings to every participating member. We're excited to grow our relationship with ACG and extend our buying power to their members for years to come."

For private equity firms, advisory firms, and growing middle-market businesses, shipping and logistics costs can have a meaningful impact on margins, working capital, and operational performance; epg helps companies identify savings opportunities quickly, reduce the time and complexity associated with carrier negotiations, and access data-driven insights that support smarter logistics procurement decisions.

“Providing our members with access to trusted, practical resources is central to ACG’s mission,” said Brent Baxter, CEO of ACG. “Our partnership with epg gives ACG members another way to strengthen the companies they invest in, advise, and lead by helping them reduce logistics costs and operate more efficiently.”

The collaboration reflects ACG’s continued commitment to delivering member offers that help middle-market professionals and the companies they support operate more effectively in a complex business environment.
