Parcels carrier DPD Netherlands have acquired temperature controlled logistics operators BK Pharma Logistics and BK Sneltransport as part of its drive to extend its core activities.
The two companies, already led jointly by MD Paul Bouwmeester, specialise in international temperature controlled food and pharmaceuticals logistics.
DPD Netherlands is acquiring the businesses to help drive their growth while allowing them to continue their operations independently. At ground level, the 130 employees of the companies will have greater growth and development opportunities.
Paul Bouwmeester, MD of BK Pharma Logistics and BK Sneltransport, said, “This cooperation with DPD will be of huge benefit to us. By working with DPD Netherlands, we will have the opportunity to grow faster, and it also gives us access to a network of larger, international customers, bringing benefits to both our customers and employees.”
