Already a North American leader in liquid bulk transportation services, Heniff—an Oak Brook, Illinois-based family of companies—has acquired the Combo Group.
The Combo Group is based in Born, Netherlands, and is a European provider of transport and logistics, food-grade tank cleaning, and maintenance & repair.
"We're very pleased to welcome our new teammates from the Combo Group," commented Bob Heniff, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Heniff. "Combo shares our customer-focused approach and brings immediate scale to our growing bulk services operations in Europe."
The acquisition of the Combo Group is Heniff's second deal in the European bulk transportation services market this year. Combo is located in the southern region of the Netherlands near the borders of Belgium and Germany, one of the busiest transport connections in Europe. Along with its trucking, logistics, tank cleaning, and maintenance & repair services, the company operates a state-of-the-art maintenance location in nearby Geleen, Netherlands, and has an additional office in Straelen, Germany.
"Teaming up with Heniff marks a significant milestone for Combo," said Jan Van Erp, founder and owner of the Combo Group. "Heniff is an inspiring organization that shares our cultural values and strong commitment to service and safety. By joining forces, we continue to provide our customers, professional workforce, and other key stakeholders with a solid foundation to consistently deliver high-quality solutions."
Founded in 1998 by Van Erp, the family-owned and -operated business Combo Group started in the intermodal repair space and then expanded into other bulk services in response to customer demand. It is recognized for its tank-beer transport and intermodal transport of tank containers that require each of Combo's service offerings through a one-stop-shop approach.
