US expansion H.Essers has recently expanded into the United States by acquiring Palmer Logistics and establishing a foothold in the US market, signaling a potential opportunity to cross-sell multimodal and chemical logistics services to North American clients with European supply chain needs.

Multimodal footprint With a large and growing multimodal fleet (over 50% of 1,420 trucks and extensive warehousing across 1.3 million m²), there is strong potential to offer integrated transportation and storage solutions to prospects requiring flexible, cross-border logistics and chemical handling capabilities.

Chemicals focus Specialization in chemicals, pharma, infra, and parts positions H.Essers as a preferred partner for regulated, high-safety sectors, creating upsell opportunities in value-added services such as compliant warehousing, temperature-controlled storage, and specialized packaging and handling.

Strategic acquisitions Active growth through acquisitions (e.g., Romano Trasporti, Palmer Logistics) demonstrates a growth strategy that appeals to customers seeking scalable logistics partners capable of rapid integration, expanded geographic coverage, and enhanced service scope.

Tech-enabled ops Leveraging a modern tech stack (Kafka, AWS, ELK, Oracle DB, Workday, analytics tools) enables data-driven routing, visibility, and efficiency gains, enabling sales conversations around optimized supply chains, real-time tracking, and cost reductions for potential clients.
