DPD Netherlands acquires BK Pharma Logistics and BK Sneltransport to meet new demands in temperature-controlled transport

DPD Netherlands announces the strategic acquisition of BK Pharma Logistics and BK Sneltransport, two logistics experts specialised in temperature-controlled transport of food and pharmaceuticals. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a rush in demand for the parcel delivery industry, esp. in healthcare & food markets has produced an unprecedented rise in demand for deliveries of food, pharmaceuticals and healthcare products. BK Pharma Logistics and BK Sneltransport specialise in conditioned pharmaceutical transport for major national and international firms in the pharma and healthcare industry. It is precisely because of this specific knowledge that DPD has approached BK Pharma Logistics and BK Sneltransport to embark on a cooperative venture.

DPD Netherlands will encourage rapid growth, allowing BK Pharma Logistics and BK Sneltransport to continue business independently. The expansion of services and growth opportunities in the market will give the 130 employees of BK Pharma Logistics and BK Sneltransport more opportunities for individual growth and development. For customers of BK Pharma Logistics and BK Sneltransport as well as customers of DPD, nothing will change either. They will remain customers of the organisation where they purchase their services. Paul Bouwmeester, Managing Director of BK Pharma Logistics and BK Sneltransport: “This cooperation with DPD will be of huge benefit to us. By working with DPD Netherlands, we will have the opportunity to grow faster, and it also gives us access to a network of larger, international customers, bringing benefits to both our customers and employees.”
