With this acquisition, sennder becomes one of the top five full truckload logistics providers in Europe. The combined company will have approximately 1,600 employees and expand its operational presence to more than 20 locations across the continent. Sennder’s digital platform connects shippers with a fleet of over 40,000 trucks, aiming to optimise freight operations by reducing empty kilometres and improving efficiency.
As part of the integration, three former EST executives will join sennder’s leadership team. Chris Mills, previously Vice President of EST, has been appointed Chief Operating Officer. Christoffer Haldemar, formerly Sales Director at EST, takes on the role of Chief Commercial Officer, while Arkadiusz Glinka, former Product Director at EST, has been named Chief Growth Officer.
“With this acquisition, we are creating a European tech logistics powerhouse that will benefit our carriers, customers, employees, and the wider industry. By adding the expertise and network of EST to sennder’s digital platform, we are accelerating our mission to build an efficient and sustainable road freight network in Europe and enhancing our service offering to more than 20 markets,” said David Nothacker, sennder’s Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder.
Chris Mills, sennder’s new Chief Operating Officer, added,
“It was very important for us to find a strong partner and home for our team that shares our vision and provides clear growth prospects. I am full of confidence that we will have a successful future as part of sennder. Our combined forces will help to bolster the European road freight network, and we are pleased to continue our journey in this combined business.”
The company has emphasised that the transition process will prioritise continuity of service for EST customers and carriers.
