Acquisition Müller Trans­port

Compass Transport has acquired Müller Transport. With this acquisition, Compass Transport is expanding its activities and making a strategic step towards the future. De Jong & Laan guided Compass Transport through the acquisition process.

Compass Transport & Müller Transport

Compass Transport, based in Hardenberg, has developed over many years of experience in transport and logistics into a fully-fledged national and international transport and distribution partner within the Benelux and the rest of Europe. With approximately 80 employees, a modern fleet of over 40 vehicles, and 20,000 m² of storage capacity in its own warehouse, Compass Transport offers complete management of the entire supply chain.

Müller Transport is a family business with a long and rich history, now active with the fifth generation. From its location in Enter, the company manages the full distribution of general cargo within the Netherlands. Müller is known for its customer-oriented approach and offering tailor-made solutions for a loyal and established customer base.

Strategic growth and expertise enhancement

Müller Transport sought an acquisition candidate that could ensure continuity for employees and customers and continue the strong regional reputation of the family business. This partner was found in Compass Transport. The positive connection between both organizations and the match in (corporate) culture form a solid foundation for the acquisition. Additionally, the takeover seamlessly aligns with Compass's growth strategy, focusing on synergy, scaling, and further sustainability of logistics services.
