NTEX delivers fuel pumps to the Nordic and Baltic countries

NTEX, one of Sweden's largest private freight forwarder, is now investing in fossil-free vehicles. Their first investment is a full-electric truck from Volvo Trucks that will transport goods in the greater Gothenburg area. This investment is expected to lower carbon dioxide emissions by 19.6 tonnes p.a.

Since 2015, NTEX UK has handled and shipped road marking glass beads from Scotland to Sweden and Norway. What started with 30-40 loads per year has developed into 178 loads, so far this year.

Earlier this year, NTEX received a request to transport a helicopter that was in need of service from Gotland to Chicago, USA. Due to the pandemic, the mission was paused. After the summer and careful planning, dismantling and custom packaging, the helicopter was finally transported by special transport from Visby to Arlanda and on to Chicago with a chartered plane.

As Väderstad, the international manufacturer of agricultural machinery, has expanded, our assignment with them has also grown. Starting by transporting spare parts to the markets in the Baltic countries, we are now making everyday deliveries to 10 markets.

Health and safety of our employees, customers and suppliers is our highest priority. This means that we closely monitor the development and statements made by relevant authorities in the countries concerned.

Two years ago, NTEX initiated a collaboration with the customs management experts Ecus in the customs handling of transport to and from Norway. When NTEX’s Customs Manager, Jenny Wallberg, visited the Customs Podcast at the beginning of the year, she talked about how the collaboration has now expanded to the UK, and the company's customs handling in connection with Brexit.

It is now official that NTEX acquires Gothenburg-based JEK Forwarding AB, a transport company focusing on sea and air freight. This is NTEX seventh company acquisition in two years and it means that NTEX, through acquisitions and organic growth, will have a turnover of SEK 2.4-2.5 billion in 2020. This will make NTEX the largest private freight forwarder in Sweden.

The two Gothenburg-based transport and logistics companies becomes one when NTEX acquires Fraktkompaniet. Both companies are among the most expansive in the Swedish industry and the merger enables an even greater growth rate. Through the acquisition, NTEX increases its turnover by approximately 360 million SEK and welcomes 100 new employees. Fraktkompaniet will be run as an independent subsidiary under the direction of CEO Anette Yngvesson.

Reliability and quality - two cornerstones in the long-standing collaboration between Ecophon and NTEX. A collaboration that began in Sweden but today also includes transports outside the country's borders.
