APL (Belgium) moves into CMA CGM offices

In September, CMA CGM’s acquisition of NOL, APL’s parent company, was completed. On a local Antwerp level, the first synergies from that operation are now taking shape. The move of APL’s Antwerp office to CMA CGM’s offices on Klipperstraat is a logical consequence, confirms Jan Van Strydonck, APL’s head of commercial Benelux. “At the commercial level, the sales and customer services will continue to operate separately. For intermodal equipment, however, there will be a common back office,” he says. “In these times, being part of a large group is a positive development.”
