China’s logistics and transport companies are steadily expanding their global footprint – not only through trade, but increasingly through strategic acquisitions in Europe. WCL is currently advising several Chinese clients who are exploring the acquisition of established European logistics companies to strengthen their market access and diversify their service portfolios.
European mid-sized logistics firms, renowned for operational excellence, digital competence, and long-standing customer relationships, have become highly attractive targets.
In a market shaped by consolidation and post-pandemic resilience, cross-border transactions open new opportunities for both buyers and sellers alike.
At WCL, we act as a bridge between investors and owners – ensuring cultural understanding, transparent valuations, and efficient transaction processes.
With deep roots in the logistics industry and a strong international network, we connect markets, people, and opportunities.
“Buying a company is never just a financial transaction – it’s about trust, connecting teams, and creating sustainable growth.”
