With this take-over, Van Huët increases her market share in the specialty market of jumbo size glass transportation per inloader .“The glass industry has been going through a process of consolidation in the last years. This trend is also being followed in the transport industry. The consequences of the economic crisis only accelerate this process”, says Bert Strikkers (managing director of Van Huët). Due to this take-over, the capacity of the Van Huët fleet increases to 300 inloaders, thus reinforcing the number 2 position in this niche market in Europe.
