UK – Eurocargo breakthrough
UK – Eurocargo breakthrough
In early July, ABX LOGISTICS (UK) LIMITED signed an agreement giving it ownership of the European Freight Forwarding Division of Nightfreight International Logistics Ltd.
The agreement, which also provides privileged access to the domestic distribution network of Nightfreight GB Ltd. (still a separate company), is a welcome boost for ABX LOGISTICS’ UK Eurocargo activities.
Nightfreight and ABX LOGISTICS are no strangers to each other and have a long tradition of cooperation in countries such as Germany, Spain, Ireland and Switzerland. The deal has given ABX LOGISTICS locations in Basildon, Manchester, Burnley and Birmingham and a fleet of swap bodies. It has also taken the workforce from about 140 to a little over 200 people.
Perhaps the biggest bonus, however, is the synergies between the existing ABX LOGISTICS customer portfolio (essentially in the high-priced consumer goods sector) and its new industrial sector clientele.
Managing Director Gianfranco Germiniani has already embarked on the challenging task of integrating the two businesses, blending together the old and new teams, for the implementation of an ambitious business plan that will lead to an increase in the Group’s UK market share.
