AKCEAN had the pleasure of assisting YELLOW T INTERNATIONAL as M&A advisor in the strategic acquisition of MP TRANS, a freight forwarder based in Mondorf-les-Bains (Luxembourg).
We supported YELLOW T INTERNATIONAL at every stage of the process, from target identification to closing. This latest transaction is in line with YELLOW T INTERNATIONAL’s development strategy, following the acquisition of AB Trans (a transport company based in Metz) in 2023, also carried out with AKCEAN’s support. This marks a further step in the gradual strengthening of the group.
Yellow T International – The buyer
YELLOW T INTERNATIONAL is an established road haulage operator based in Luxembourg. The company oversees the operations of its fleet of trucks across Europe, and specializes in the transport of general cargo under canvas, with a strong expertise in express and customized services. It is also active in France via its subsidiary AB Trans, dedicated to regional flows.
Founded in 1996, the Yellow T group will achieve sales of around €10 million following this operation.
MP Trans – The target
Founded in 2009, MP TRANS specializes in partial freight forwarding. Drawing on a network of partners and recognized expertise, the company optimizes its customers’ transport flows by pooling loads.
MP TRANS operates mainly on European routes, offering flexible, responsive solutions to the needs of its industrial and commercial customers
“An operation enabling us to broaden our expertise”
Patrick Gindt, CEO of YELLOW T INTERNATIONAL, comments:
“This operation is fully in line with our strategy of strengthening our expertise. The integration of MP TRANS’ skills in part-chartering enables us to complete our offer in general cargo transport. Whether it’s full, partial, charter or own transport, we now have all the capacities we need to meet our customers’ requirements.
We are delighted to welcome MP TRANS to our group, and thank AKCEAN for the quality of its support throughout the process.”
