H.Essers acquires Gebroeders Hoefnagels Transport
The Belgian logistics service provider H.Essers has acquired the Dutch company Gebroeders Hoefnagels Transport, with sites in Asten and Weert (the Netherlands). The takeover is subject to approval by the competition authorities.
“This acquisition makes us a major player in the Benelux countries for logistics services for construction, infrastructure and utility companies,” says CEO Gert Bervoets, welcoming the 222 Hoefnagels employees and managing directors Jan and Aloys Hoefnagels into the group.
Due to the increasing use of prefabricated elements and modular construction processes, in which ready-made units are pre-assembled, the demand for appropriate logistical solutions for these elements is also growing. Hoefnagels' fleet consists of 155 trucks. With this addition to its capacity, H.Essers will have 389 trucks and 869 trailers for the infrastructure logistics market. (mw)
