edEx Corp. said Monday it bought domestic British transportation firm ANC for $234 million.

The move will allow the company to compete directly in Europe against rivals such as UPS Inc., Netherlands-based TNT NV and Germany’s Deutsche Post, Bloomberg reported.

ANC has distribution and logistics services, with annual revenue of about $285 million. It employees 4,500 and has a fleet of 2,200 vehicles in 80 locations.
