WALLENBRON Transports, is to buy Haugsted AirCargo Services one of the leading trucking and handling operators in Scandinavia from Dachser collaring three important hubs of Copenhagen, Billund and Oslo in its race to become the sole fully pan-European logistics provider, reports the UK's Transport Intelligence.

"We will be able to offer more strongly in Scandinavia, a full distribution services with regards to transportation, handling and warehousing to the highest quality and efficiencies," said company president Frantz Wallenborn.

The acquisition which gives the company a foothold in northern Europe to connect with its own mainland presence will stand to benefit from Haugsted's scheduled feeds from its central hub of Copenhagen to main airports in western Europe.

Said Wallenborn chairman Ludwig Bertsch: "Haugsted's focus on full distribution services over a large geographical area complements the base-line approach we have - ie, our focus is on full product integrity and capability over all of Europe."
