Sittingbourne-based Carousel Logistics, which is part of the Danish group DANX Carousel, has acquired Logik Logistics International, which specialises in time-critical, scheduled, and round the clock, on-demand logistics solutions.

The acquisition aims to boost Carousel’s round-the-clock service portfolio with on-demand and ad-hoc cross-border logistics, including express road and air freight, aircraft charter, On Board Courier (OBC) services, and specialised handling for time-critical shipments.

Logik Logistics, which is headquartered in Coventry, operates across the automotive, aerospace, carbon composite, retail, pharmaceutical, publishing, and marine sectors. Its customers range from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to companies needing urgent medical shipments and ship spares.

Lars Ryssel, DANX Carousel MD for Western Europe, said: ”This acquisition not only expands our time-critical logistics capabilities but also strengthens our on-demand / ad-hoc service platform, enabling us to better serve our customers’ needs.

“Logik’s expertise and round-the-clock availability will enable us to deliver even greater value and efficiency to our clients across Europe, regardless of the time or urgency. We welcome Logik Logistics International to the Carousel family.”

David York, Logik Logistics MD, will remain with the company to ensure a smooth transition and drive continued growth within the expanded group.

He said: ”Joining forces with Carousel Logistics opens up exciting opportunities for our team and our clients. We look forward to leveraging our combined strengths to deliver unparalleled service to customers across Europe, whenever they need us.”

DANX Carousel Group was formed in January 2022 after both companies were bought by Scandinavian private equity house Axcel with the aim of creating a pan-European in-night specialist logistics provider.
