Van Moer Logistics, a Belgian logistics firm, has announced the acquisition of the air cargo division from Ziegler Belgium. This strategic move, effective June 1, 2026, significantly broadens Van Moer's service capabilities, adding air freight to its existing logistics solutions. The acquisition was made public on the same day that Ziegler Belgium declared bankruptcy.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this development means a consolidation of air freight services under a new entity. Shippers previously working with Ziegler Belgium's air cargo unit will now likely transition to Van Moer Logistics for their air freight needs. This could lead to potential adjustments in operational procedures and contact points, though service continuity is expected. The integration of these operations may also offer Van Moer's clients a more streamlined approach to multimodal logistics, combining air, road, and potentially other services under one provider. The immediate impact on air cargo rates or capacity is not explicitly stated but could be subject to future strategic decisions by Van Moer Logistics as they integrate the new division.
