Our History

Originally founded as NVO Consolidation with a focus on LCL forwarding, we have grown into a full-service NVOCC offering both LCL and FCL forwarding alongside rail freight, distribution and customs services. Headquartered in the Netherlands with a strong presence in Belgium, Germany and France, we operate strategically across Europe through our group brands — NVO Consolidation in the UK, Ireland and Portugal and ICELOGIC in Iceland. Every milestone reflects our commitment to seamless worldwide neutral LCL and FCL services, industry expertise and long-term customer partnerships.
