Van den Bosch to expand dry bulk activities with Broekema Bulk takeover


Van den Bosch Transporten is taking over Broekema Bulk as of July 1, 2018 in order to expand its dry bulk activities in Europe. Just like Van den Bosch Transporten, Broekema Bulk is specialised in road and intermodal bulk transport. Where Van den Bosch Transporten is active in both dry and liquid bulk transport, Broekema Bulk focuses on dry bulk transport, especially feed, minerals, petrochemical products and dedicated food. The work area covers the Benelux, France, Germany, the U.K., Italy and Spain.

“With the takeover of Broekema Bulk, we aim to further expand our dry bulk activities in Europe”, Chief Executive Officer Rico Daandels explains. “Both the work area and the fleet of Broekema are in line with our activities and strategy. We want to further strengthen our position as a top 10 bulk transport company in Europe, especially in the U.K., where Broekema has acquired a strong position.” 

The dry bulk division already counts more than thousand silo trailers and silo containers, mainly pressurised silo containers. With the takeover, Van den Bosch Transporten will extend the fleet with modern silo trailers and 40ft pressurised silo containers. Daandels: “Van den Bosch has developed into a leading company in the transport of dry bulk products with pressurised containers. With this investment, we further extend both our fleet and our network in this specific segment, the focus being on the extension of our activities in the U.K.”

Dirk Broekema will continue to be the contact person for the customers of Broekema Bulk. He is enthusiastic about the takeover: “Van den Bosch has acquired a strong position in European logistics. Our customers will benefit from this extensive intermodal transport network. Next to that, Van den Bosch also has the expertise in liquid bulk transport. Moreover, the takeover results in extra capacity and a wide package of additional logistic services, such as on site logistics and connectivity solutions.”
