European logistics provider Ewals Cargo Care has announced the acquisition of Vos Transport Group, marking a significant step in its long-term strategy to build a stronger and more integrated logistics network across Europe.
The deal brings together two family-owned businesses with complementary expertise, networks and services, creating a larger organisation focused on sustainable growth and enhanced transport solutions for customers across the continent.
The acquisition will strengthen Ewals Cargo Care’s capabilities in less-than-truckload (LTL), groupage and part-load services, while further expanding its established multimodal full truckload (FTL) network.
Building a Stronger European Logistics Network
Ewals Cargo Care said the move is about more than simply increasing scale through acquisition.
By combining resources, expertise and operational strengths, the company aims to create a more resilient and future-ready logistics business capable of meeting growing customer demand across Europe.
Both companies share a long history as family-owned enterprises and are built on similar values, including long-term thinking, entrepreneurship, service quality and a strong focus on people.
The companies said these shared principles would help ensure a smooth integration process and support future growth.
Strategic Growth Plans
The acquisition forms part of Ewals Cargo Care’s wider strategy to strengthen its position as a pan-European logistics provider.
Key priorities include expanding its multimodal transport network, combining road, rail and ferry services to improve flexibility and reliability across major European freight corridors.
The company also plans to grow its network of transport partners and carriers, improving capacity management and helping balance freight demand and supply.
A major focus will be the expansion of part-load, LTL and groupage services, an area where Vos Transport Group has developed significant expertise.
Benefits for Customers
The combined organisation says customers will benefit from a larger European network, increased transport capacity and a broader range of logistics services.
The partnership is expected to provide:
- Expanded LTL and groupage coverage across Europe
- Increased network capacity and operational reliability
- A wider portfolio of integrated logistics services
- Access to new transport routes and market opportunities
Both companies stressed that existing customer relationships and service levels will remain unchanged during the transition.
Gradual Integration Planned
Vos Transport Group will become part of Ewals Cargo Care’s dedicated Part Loads division but will continue operating as a separate business unit under its current management team.
According to the companies, this approach will provide continuity for employees, customers and business partners while allowing both organisations to gradually integrate operations.
Leadership Comments
Bram Ewals, Chief Executive of Ewals Cargo Care, said the acquisition was a natural fit due to the similarities between the two businesses.
“We are proud to welcome Vos Transport Group to Ewals Cargo Care. From the very beginning, it was clear that as family-owned businesses we share the same values: long-term thinking, craftsmanship, commitment and a strong focus on people.
“Vos Transport Group stands out as an innovative and sustainable player in the market. By joining forces, we create new opportunities for our customers and partners and build a stronger future together.”
Jules Menheere, Managing Director of Vos Transport Group, said the agreement would allow the company to continue growing while retaining its identity.
“This marks an exciting new chapter for Vos. We remain true to who we are, while benefiting from the strength of a broader European network.
“It allows us to grow, innovate and continue delivering the reliability our customers expect, together with Ewals Cargo Care.”
Looking Ahead
The combined organisation aims to strengthen its position within the European logistics sector by building on shared values, established infrastructure and expanding service capabilities.
Both companies say their focus will remain on delivering reliable, flexible and sustainable logistics solutions while continuing to invest in innovation, partnerships and workforce development.
The acquisition reflects a broader trend of consolidation within the European transport and logistics industry as operators seek greater scale, efficiency and resilience in an increasingly competitive market.
