Compañía de Distribución Integral Logista S A : Logista consolidates its stake in Speedlink with the acquisition of the remaining 30%

• With this transaction Logista becomes 100% owner of Speedlink, reinforcing its position in the premium courier segment in The Netherlands

Logista, one of the largest logistics operators in Europe, has announced the increase in its stake of the Dutch company Speedlink Worldwide Express, a specialist in express (time critical) deliveries to and from the Netherlands.

The Company announced in February 2022 the acquisition of 70% of Speedlink in an agreement which contemplated reaching a 100% stake, milestone reached today through the acquisition of the remaining 30%.

Speedlink, based in Hoofddorp, near Schiphol Airport, serves growth sectors and has developed a unique business model, based on an asset-light structure, and specialised in time critical transport services for healthcare, high-tech, automotive and e-commerce sectors.

The acquisition of Speedlink led to the international expansion of Nacex's services in The Netherlands, which was subsequently complemented by the acquisition of Belgium Parcel Services in December 2023, strengthening Logista's position in medical/healthcare distribution by expanding its catalogue of services outside the Iberian Peninsula.

Speedlink offers premium express delivery services mainly to Spain, Portugal, Germany, and the UK.
