Burlington Northern Santa Fe subsidiary BNSF Logistics L.L.C. recently acquired freight forwarder The M.R.S. Cos. Inc. Terms weren't disclosed.

Formed in 1985 by President Michael Solomon Sr., M.R.S. will become a unit of BNSF Logistics' Transportation Execution Services (TES) division. BNSF Logistics named Solomon vice president of sales and marketing, reporting to Vice President and General Manager Eric Wolfe.
