SITRA sells chemical transport activities to Den Hartogh Logistics

With a view to concentrating fully on the transport of food products with tank trucks, SITRA Group has decided to sell all of its liquid bulk activities for the chemical industry to Dutch group Den Hartogh Logistics. According to SITRA Group CEO David Saelens the chemical logistics activities will thrive within the Dutch group and the employees will also find a warm home there. A total of 19 SITRA employees will make the switch to Den Hartogh.

SITRA’s activities in the chemical sector mainly concentrate on the transport of liquid basic ingredients for end products such as shampoo, detergents and oil derivatives. “We are both family businesses. As a result we have similar cultures and do business in the same way.” With this takeover Den Hartogh strengthens its European road transport and intermodal network.
