Armstrong & Associates' Evaluation: PBB has been acquired by Livingston International and will be integrated to Livingston this fall. PBB has good representation in China, IMC operations (Clarke) in North America and expanded customs brokerage. Livingston is the largest U.S./Canada customs broker. The combined operations emphasize U.S./Canadian trade - the largest trade lane in the world at a time when U.S. security measures have made border crossings much more complex.
