Vos Logistics and SNEL Shared Logistics have been working together for some time. The latter handles fine-meshed distribution for Vos Logistics' warehouse customers. On Sunday, Vos Logistics announced that it is acquiring all the shares of SNEL Shared Logistics. The transaction is pending approval by the ACM. The works councils of both companies have advised positively on the takeover.
Vos strengthens position in dense distribution and warehousing
Oss-based Vos Logistics plans to grow further in the field of fine-meshed distribution, warehousing and cross-docking of goods, focusing mainly on B2B, retail, e-fulfilment and home deliveries. SNEL Shared Logistics' activities are in line with this; with a location of 65,000 square metres, the company is well positioned in the Randstad and able to efficiently supply shops, businesses and consumers. In addition, the location offers opportunities for warehousing and order fulfilment for customers.
Ben Vos, CFO Vos Logistics: " By scaling up and digitising business processes, we are able to deliver faster throughout the Benelux, integrate better with customers' systems and keep rising costs under control. This way, we remain an attractive party to work with."
Continuity SNEL Shared Logistics
Peter de Vries, managing director and owner of SNEL Shared Logistics will become part of the Vos Logistics management team and will remain responsible for the operation in Woerden. "Vos Logistics offers an excellent basis for the continuity and expansion of my company. In combination, we can grow along with our customers," De Vries says of the transaction. "Although our positions are currently well filled, I am convinced that together we will be even better able to offer attractive prospects for employees and thus anticipate the scarce labour market."
