German term or phrase: XXX
seit dem 1. Juli 2007 bündelt die YYY Logistik AG gleichartige Aktivitäten in ihren Geschäftsfeldern Solutions, Air & Ocean und Road & Rail. Nach der erfolgreichen Umsetzung dieser neuen Konzernstruktur erhält die positive Entwicklung des Konzerns jetzt einen weiteren kräftigen Schub: aus yyy Logistik wird

XXX

Damit vollziehen wir den letzten Schritt in unserer Entwicklung von einem eher losen Verbund zahlreicher Unternehmen zu einem ganzheitlichen, integrierten Logistikkonzern. Die Vielzahl von Marken und Namen wird jetzt zu einer starken, einheitlichen Marke zusammengefügt. Sämtliche Konzerngesellschaften – und damit auch [….] – werden künftig unter diesem Namen firmieren.

Als Unternehmen der XXX AG geben wir Ihnen mit unserer neuen Marke ein klares Leistungsversprechen: wir wollen, dass Sie mit uns als Logistikpartner erfolgreich sind: XXX.Your logistics.

Question: the above context, what does "XXX" in the "...wird

XXX

Damit...." part mean? Thank you in advance!

Explanation:
In my opinion, there's no deeper meaning involved here. In all probability, the author(s) did not want to disclose the real names of the companies involved, and therefore chose to use XXX and YYY instead.

Of course the German sentence is correct - I don't see any problem.
