Willis Larsson Transport AB acquired by Van den Bosch

Van den Bosch said it is “strengthening its position in Northern Europe” by taking over the Swedish transport company Willis Larsson Transport AB. 

Willis Larsson serves Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Benelux, Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom. Van den Bosch said it has a strong position in the intermodal transport of dry bulk goods, with its own modern fleet of trucks and 40FT pressurised containers: “The acquisition will result in a further growth of the dry bulk division of Van den Bosch, which will grow into more than 1400 modern silo trailers and silo containers.”

Rico Daandels, CEO of Van den Bosch, said: “The acquisition of Willis Larsson represents the next step in our international growth strategy. As a logistics coordinator, Van den Bosch wants to become the European top player in bulk logistics. 

“With the use of data and the right equipment, we can provide intermodal solutions for our customers – both in the field of dry and liquid bulk transport for the food and chemical industry. By taking over Willis Larsson, we will strengthen our logistic network in the Nordics and expand our leading position in the transport with pressurised containers.”

Sverker Larsson, CEO of Willis Larsson Transport, added: “Joining Van den Bosch connects us with the extensive European transport network and gives us access to the knowledge and experience of modern data systems. Moreover, Van den Bosch will also bring its expertise in the field of liquid bulk transport to the Nordics, which will result in a further extension of our activities.”
