BDA buys Nightexpress

The acquisition enables BDA to further extend its infrastructure and service propositions to provide customers with unrivalled Air and Road supply chain solutions and delivery services from mainland Europe into the UK and Ireland.

BDA has worked with NightExpress since starting operations in 2007, combining the country-specific expertise of NightExpress with BDA’s own dedicated air-bridges and road line haul routes to establish service supply chain gateway offerings from Germany, the Benelux and France to the UK and Ireland. It comes at a time when the international logistics market is evolving. The most recent European Distribution and Warehousing report from Transport Intelligence predicts that logistics providers will move main distribution hubs to key centres across Europe to take advantage of better locations for both production and distribution. With this acquisition, BDA is helping to lead that trend.

Steve Court, Sales and Marketing Director at BDA said: “This acquisition is a logical progression within our business model that continues to strengthen our infrastructure and service propositions for the benefit of all our customers. It is important that we provide all our customers with local management and logistical expertise. This acquisition further strengthens this element of our company within Germany and enhances our business greatly.”
