Despite the uncertainty regarding new import duties, our team has seen impressive growth in our transatlantic transport activities. Shipments to and from the United States and Canada increased by more than 20% in 2025, confirming the strong demand for specialized heavy and oversized cargo logistics across the Atlantic.

As a full‑service logistics partner, we manage the entire process: from export documentation to import handling. A key advantage is the use of our own import license, enabling efficient and compliant import procedures in North America.

The transported cargo typically consists of both self-propelled and static machinery or machine components. Regardless of the type, the shipments are always out-of-gauge or heavy, requiring dedicated expertise and tailored handling. This is where our long-standing experience in special and heavy transport makes a significant impact.

Within Europe, pre-carriage and onward carriage are managed with our well‑known fleet of orange trucks, ensuring seamless transport in the first or last leg. Outside of Europe we work together with our extensive network of trusted partners. This end‑to‑end approach strengthens reliability throughout the logistics chain and contributes to the continued growth in transatlantic traffic.
