Senior executives at Vos Logistics, Oss, the Netherlands, are planning to acquire all shares in the company through a management buyout in cooperation with Scheybeeck Investments. The parties will be supported by Delta Lloyd Mezzanine Fund by means of a subordinated loan. The company, which has 1900 employees and operates through a network of 30 group-owned locations throughout Europe, has given priority during the past three years to making itself more agile and sustainable. A substantial investment programme has been implemented to underpin further growth. In the coming years, the strategy will be directed at:

• optimising goods flows in cooperation with customers in order to create cleaner and more efficient logistics and transport solutions

• further optimising the cost of international transport networks for packed goods and dry bulk

• achieving controlled growth in customer-specific logistics services both organically and through selective acquisitions.

At present 80% of the shares in Vos Logistics are held by banks. The transaction is expected to be completed within the next few weeks. www.voslogistics.com
