Dutch logistics service provider Vos Logistics significantly improved its results in the 2025 financial year. The company reports that revenue, at €356 million, was in line with the previous year despite declining transport volumes.
Profitability, however, improved substantially: EBIT rose to €9.3 million, up from €3.8 million in 2024. The company posted a net profit of €4.5 million, after only breaking even the year before.
Key financial metrics also developed positively. Liquidity increased to €16 million, while net debt fell to €40 million.
Operational improvements drive results
The company attributes the performance primarily to more efficient processes. Contribution margin increased as a result of operational improvements.
In the “Solutions” segment, which includes warehousing, distribution and freight management, Vos Logistics was able to increase both volume and profitability. In particular, better warehouse utilisation and a new warehouse management system had a positive impact.
In freight management, the company says its own “Control Tower” solution also contributed to efficiency gains.
Transport business stabilises
In International Transport, a gradual recovery continued in 2025. Demand remained weak—especially in the automotive and chemical industries—but margins improved.
According to the company, optimised lanes, higher utilisation and cost reductions supported the improvement. New contracts in retail and the FMCG segment partially offset declines.
Takeover close to completion – EU has already approved
Alongside the operational progress, a strategic step is nearing completion: the takeover by the French logistics group Jacky Perrenot.
The European Commission approved the acquisition in January 2026. According to Brussels, there are no competition concerns, as the combined market shares in the relevant segments are considered low.
This means a key hurdle for the transaction has already been cleared. Completion is regarded as a formality.
The merger will create a logistics company with around 12,000 employees, approximately 10,000 vehicle units and around 800,000 square metres of warehouse space. Combined revenue is stated at around €1.7 billion.
Consolidation in the European logistics market
The takeover is part of a broader trend: the European logistics market is increasingly consolidating.
With Vos Logistics, Jacky Perrenot is strengthening its position in particular in the Benelux countries and in international transport. The aim is a more tightly integrated network with Europe-wide coverage.
