DFDS has acquired 100% of the share capital of the Dutch logistics company Huisman Group BV headquartered in Wijchen.

Operations include warehouses and cross-docking facilities in Wijchen, the Netherlands, and Corby, England, as well as a fleet of around 55 trailers and 50 trucks. Huisman Group employs 104 professionals. Its annual revenue is €23m.

The move should allow DFDS to expand its activities between continental Europe and the UK/Ireland, especially those related to part-load solutions.

Niklas Andersson, Executive Vice President and Head of Logistics Division, DFDS, commented on the acquisition, "Huisman Group is an excellent provider of part-load solutions between the Netherlands and the UK that complements our existing strong full-load business in these markets. We can now offer customers an even wider scope of solutions."
