Through its subsidiary Transport Van Heesvelde, the Mervielde group has strengthened its position by acquiring Transport Plovie from Beernem. This company specializes in national and international tanker transport and has a fleet of 10 vehicles.
Transport Plovie is the textbook example of a solid family business. It specializes in the transport of chemical products, hazardous substances and transport under high temperatures, and therefore has very specific transport equipment and employs about ten people. Its solvency ratio is… 96%. It goes without saying that Transport Van Heesvelde has not acquired an easy prey. “This acquisition fits perfectly into the growth strategy that we have been pursuing for some time. It strengthens our position in the niche market of the transport of liquid chemical products,” says the Mervielde group.
