Rotra Air & Ocean BV has officially integrated the activities of Van Londen
Consultancy BV (VLC), effective immediately. This strategic step further strengthens
Rotra’s position in the air and ocean freight market, particularly within Special
Services and project cargo.

VLC, founded in 1999 and based in Zevenaar, is a well-established logistics service
provider with many years of experience delivering tailor-made global transport
solutions. The company has built a strong reputation for organizing complex project
shipments across sea and air freight. VLC’s customer-oriented approach and broad
logistics expertise perfectly complement Rotra’s service-driven and innovative
character.

“The integration of VLC fits perfectly within our strategy to further strengthen and
expand our existing services,” says Paul Rombeek, Managing Director of Rotra Air &
Ocean. “By combining the knowledge, experience, and global networks of both
teams, we enhance our capabilities within Special Services and are able to support
our customers even more effectively in complex logistics challenges.”

Pieter van Londen, founder and former owner of VLC, and his team will remain
actively involved in operations: “Joining forces with Rotra allows us to further
strengthen and secure our services within a larger, future-focused organization. I look
forward to working closely with the Rotra team to continue serving our customers in
the best possible way.”

All VLC activities and customer relationships are now part of the Special Services
division of Rotra Air & Ocean BV. Together with the VLC team, Rotra is ensuring a
smooth transition, enabling customers to immediately benefit from an enhanced and
seamless service experience.
