Assurant, Inc. (AIZ) has acquired RL Circular Operations and its subsidiaries to enhance its post-purchase capabilities and strengthen its circular logistics operations in Australia and New Zealand. The deal is aimed at utilizing AI technologies to support sustainable retail practices and lifecycle management programs in the region.
RL Circular Operations, previously known as TIC Reverse Logistics, is recognized as the leading provider of post-purchase workflow and reverse logistics services in Australia and New Zealand. This strategic acquisition is expected to improve Assurant’s efficiency in post-sales services and reduce reliance on third-party logistics providers, thereby boosting its competitive edge in these key markets.
Assurant’s recent acquisition follows its purchase of OptoFidelity’s mobile test automation portfolio in October 2025, further indicating its commitment to improving service offerings and driving innovation in lifecycle management. This move also positions Assurant to capitalize on the growing consumer demand for sustainable solutions in the post-purchase landscape.
