AB Texel acquires transport activities of Wigchers Internationaal Transport

“The transport sector is facing increasingly greater challenges with aspects such as sustainability requiring investments, specialist knowledge and sufficient scale. For this reason, we decided to transfer the transport activities to AB Texel. We were looking for a reliable, robust party that can continue to deliver high quality service to our customers and offer our employees continuity and security for the future. AB Texel was the ideal candidate.
Our family founded Wigchers and has seen it develop and grow over the years. Together with our employees, we have made Wigchers the company it is today. This is an exceptional moment for us, but ultimately a step we are taking with the fullest confidence,” according to the board of Wigchers.

Dennis Wetenkamp, CEO of AB Texel: “For AB Texel, the acquisition signals a further consolidation of our network and an expansion of our geographical coverage. The overlapping activities also facilitate AB Texel’s continued expansion into the transport of agricultural products and logistics for the construction industry. And it also means we are gaining skilled and experienced colleagues. We are proud that Wigchers Internationaal Transport has chosen AB Texel and would like to warmly welcome our new colleagues’”
