In 1968 it was reorganized as a standard public company, with shares. In 1999 it merged with its larger competitor, North American Van Lines, and the combined entity then came under the holding company Allied Worldwide. In 2002, Allied Worldwide was renamed SIRVA. In 2018, Allied Van Lines was ranked as the second-best moving company in the list of "10 Best Coast to Coast Movers in the USA" by 9Kilo Moving[1] HistoryAllied WorldwideOn January 12, 1998, NAVL was bought out from Norfolk Southern Corporation ({{nyse2|NSC}}) by the private investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice for more than US$200 million.[2] On November 21, 1999, Clayton, Dubilier and Rice also completed their acquisition of Allied Van Lines and merged it with North American Van Lines to create Allied Worldwide, although each former company maintained its own profile names. Valued at approximately US$450 million in the merger, the Allied Worldwide combined entity became the world's largest relocation and van line logistics company[2] The decade of the 2000s saw major internationalization, as the merged company reached far away from North America, beginning operations in other continents, such as Europe and South America. SIRVA, Inc.On February 11, 2002 Allied Worldwide was renamed as SIRVA, Inc.[2] SIRVA, Inc. (formerly Allied Worldwide), based in Westmont, Illinois, is a privately owned moving industry holding company which resulted from the merger of Allied Van Lines with North American Van Lines.
