Company History
ABX LOGISTICS was established in 1993 as a domestic transport company, part of the Belgian railway SNCB/NMBS.
In the three years from 1998 to 2001, it made the quantum leap from a Belgian company to an international concern. The international expansion of ABX LOGISTICS’ own network and diversification took place via acquisitions in France (Dubois, Testud, Delagnes), Germany (THL/Bahntrans), Italy (Saima Avandero), etc.
In 2005 its turnover totalled approx. 2.5 billion euros.
The ABX LOGISTICS Group is one of the leading logistics players strongly represented in the core industrial and commercial countries. Following intensive expansion through acquisitions, the Group has rapidly gained unique network coverage and recognition.
In August 2006 3i, Europe’s leading private equity company, third party funds advised by 3i and the Management of ABX LOGISTICS acquired the shares of ABX LOGISTICS Worldwide from the Belgian Railways (SNCB Holding).
