Record month for Europa in Belgium

[ September 11, 2024   //   Chris Lewis ]

Europa Road’s Belgian arm, Ostend-based Europa Road NV says it handled a record number of consignments in July.

Europa Road NV exceeded its previous best month with a 30% increase in shipments for July – a record since the launch of its dedicated sales team in Ostend in January 2023. Its DDP (delivery duty paid) export service now accounts for over half of its total groupage exports.

The Ostend sales team is led by regional sales manager for Benelux, Jack Baxter, who said: “Across a broad range of industries from components to finished goods, our customers’ use of Europa Flow is also growing steadily month on month, which demonstrates that the frictionless movement of goods is essential. Our customers are generally mid-sized operations who need to regularly export to the UK but are not large enough to set up their own customs entity in the UK.”

UK headquartered Europa Worldwide Group acquired Continental Cargo Carriers in 2018 to boost its services between Belgium and the UK. The company has subsequently established a Netherlands office in Rotterdam.
