Bolloré purchases Danish Forwarder

Bolloré Transport & Logistics and supply chain services company Czarnikow are collaborating to support Bolloré’s sustainable development in East Africa through the VIVE Sustainable Supply Programme.

Bolloré Logistics has taken a majority stake in the Danish freight forwarder Global Solutions.

The acquisition means that in Europe, Bolloré now has 165 sites in 22 countries with a combined headcount of 5,500.

This latest transaction will expand further Bolloré Logistics’ global end-to-end offering in the Scandinavian markets. Already established in Norway, it now benefits from Denmark’s Global Solutions network, which has been operating on the Danish market for 11 years, with expertise in air freight, sea freight and express, particularly on the Europe-Asia axis. Global Solutions has two offices: an office at Copenhagen airport, and its headquarters in Vejle, the country’s logistics hub.

Henri Le Gouis, CEO Europe of Bolloré Logistics, said, “this new location will enable us to better serve our key account customers in Denmark and more generally in Scandinavia. We will support Danish companies in their international development and logistics projects, particularly in Africa, the continent of the future with strong market opportunities, where we operate as the 1st integrated logistics network.”
