Europa forges new partnerships
Europa Road has announced new partnerships with companies in Spain, Netherlands and Portugal. In Spain, Europa will be working with Ekol, a Turkish company which is one of the largest operators in Europe. Europa said that the new partnership will enhance its routes to and from Spain, and in particular Barcelona where Europa will now be able to offer daily services six days a week to and from the city. Europa already offers daily services to Madrid and Irun which will continue. Ekol, which was established in 1990, has a turnover of €500m and employs in excess of 6,500 across 85 locations.
In the Netherlands, Europa will be working with Tilburg-based BF Global. Europa will continue to operate two daily trips to and from Dartford to Tilburg. BF Global was founded in 2012 after a management buy out and operates across a wide variety of industry sectors.
Europa’s new partner in Portugal is Abreu Carga.
Dan Cook, Operations Director at Europa, said: “Our business has huge ambitions for exponential growth and we need to have the right local partner framework in place to deliver these ambitions.”
Europa had previously worked with Transnatur in Spain and Portugal, and Ziegler in the Netherlands.
