STEF has successfully completed the acquisition of Bakker Logistiek, following the positive opinion of the Dutch competition authorities and the completion of legal public participation procedures. With this, the French group strengthens its network in the Netherlands with six new branches. STEF Netherlands has 400 employees and more than 100 vehicles. Bakker Logistics is much larger : it is one of the largest temperature-controlled companies in the Netherlands, with 1400 employees and a fleet of 325 vehicles. Operationally, the two companies complement each other: STEF Netherlands specializes in transport and logistics services for food products (chilled and frozen), with Bakker Logistics also specializing in packaging services for food products (ambient and chilled).
