Neele-Vat has taken an important strategic step with the acquisition of Nord Cargo, an established player in international road transport to and from Spain. With this acquisition Neele-Vat strengthens its position within this growing market segment and further expands its European network. The addition of the branches in Barcelona, Madrid, Castellon and Malaga creates a stronger local presence that directly contributes to service quality and reliability.

Growth in scale, expertise and reach

The merger of Neele-Vat 's existing Spain activities with Nord Cargo's services creates a solid foundation for further growth. The 38 new colleagues strengthen the scale and agility needed to remain competitive in the Europe of tomorrow. This expansion provides Neele-Vat with more capacity, deeper market knowledge and a stronger network to best serve customers.

Nord Cargo remains part of the Neele-Vat family under its own name for the time being. The management will remain on board and all employees will remain part of the team - a choice that ensures continuity and offers room to continue building the future together.

Familiar service with new possibilities

Peter de Geus (Nord Cargo) sees the acquisition as a strengthening for customers and staff:
"The acquisition by Neele-Vat offers a nice continuation for customers and staff of Nord Cargo. With the same customer-oriented, no-nonsense culture and even more clout in Spain. I am very happy to be able to offer my customers and colleagues a bright future this way."

Pim Steine, Director of Transport at Neele-Vat, emphasizes the substantive broadening of the offering:
"The activities of Neele-Vat and Nord Cargo on Spain complement each other well. We can now offer our customers an even broader service with options for Temperature Controlled and Pharma transport. With the new locations in Spain, we have a good starting position to further expand our services."

Organized locally, connected globally

The acquisition is fully in line with Neele-Vat 's vision that global logistics is best organized locally. Through strategic presence, reliable partners and strong local teams, Neele-Vat remains able to offer pragmatic, people-oriented and reliable solutions that give customers security - every day.

After the acquisition, Neele-Vat remains a Rotterdam-based family company with 1,700 employees, 40 branches in 20 countries and 450,000 m² of warehouse capacity in the Benelux.
