Ryder System will buy Total Logistics Control from SuperValu, increasing the company’s reach in the beverage, food and consumer packaged goods market.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed but Holland, Mich.-based Total Logistics Control will add about $250 million to $1.3 billion Ryder’s revenue next year, the Miami-based company said Wednesday.

TLC adds comprehensive food, beverage and CPG capabilities to Ryder’s automotive, high-tech, industrial and retail business, Chairman and CEO Greg
