Belgian Adelantex and AD Handling in Swiss Panalpina hands

With 75,000 tonnes of imports of perishable goods (vegetables, fruit, fish, flowers and plants) per year, Adelantex is our country’s most specialised importer. This has not escaped Panalpina’s notice either. The Swiss logistics group sees a big market in the global transport of perishable goods and wants to become the “undisputed number 1 by 2020” in this market segment. It does so through targeted acquisitions, as a result of which the Panalpina Perishables Network currently includes 20 countries in Latin America, Europe and Africa.
