The takeover
The acquisition of Cargo Holding B.V. by VWE Automotive B.V. aligns with VWE Automotive's growth ambitions. Together, both companies can offer the automotive sector an even more comprehensive range of services. The aim is to optimally support all business processes of car dealerships. VWE Automotive adds insights and advice from its data background. Cargo's strength primarily lies in import and export, ensuring that international trade flows also proceed easily and quickly.
Piet Renses, CEO of VWE Automotive, explains: “Both companies once started in the automotive market in Utrecht to provide services in the field of import and export. VWE Automotive has since developed particularly in the area of data and, through the acquisition of AVN among others, facilitated international buying and selling. Cargo has chosen the direction of import and export services. We have been partners in the industry for years and complement each other excellently.”
According to Claudia Bakkenes, VWE Automotive is the perfect partner to collaborate with. “Over the past 25 years, my colleagues and I have managed to build a wonderful company. I am very proud of everything we have achieved. Now it's time for the next step. Together with VWE Automotive, we are creating scale and even better opportunities to optimally serve our customers.”
