Acquiring GVT Transport & Logistics, ID Logistics actively pursues its international growth strategy. The Group will consolidate its positions in Europe by creating a key logistics player in the Benelux. Benelux is the 3rd logistics market in Continental Europe, after Germany and France, and the port of entry of many industrial and retail customers. GVT Transport & Logistics is the transport and logistics division of GVT Group of Logistics founded in 1957. It offers warehousing, road transport, and last-mile delivery services. The division named BTT, which offers multimodal container solutions, is not part of the transaction and will remain operated separately by GVT Group of Logistics. GVT Transport & Logistics manages 12 sites, employs more than 750 professionals, rents 200.000 m² of warehouses, and has a fleet of 285 trucks throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. Its main logistics campus in Tilburg is strategically located within a short distance from important sea-and airports and good accessibility by water, rail, and road with many international manufacturers based in this region. GVT Transport & Logistics serves a diversified client portfolio, mostly A-brand international electronic goods, and non-food retail companies. GVT Transport & Logistics and ID Logistics have had successful cooperation in the Benelux for many years. Both head offices are based in Tilburg. Combining the two companies will offer unique logistics services on the market and strong visibility on this strategic market.
