Mail and parcels
Lenton Group becomes the majority shareholder of Your Cargo Contact, a Dutch company specialized in customs clearance and international logistics. This investment allows the international group to strengthen its access to the European markets as well as its strategic position in the global eCommerce logistics market.
Lenton Group, which is also majority-owned by GeoPost / DPDgroup since 2019, has an ambitious growth plan to expand its cross-border services. On top of its existing European operations in Paris and London, Lenton will rely on this new gateway to better connect its customers to the Benelux market and the strategic DPD Hubs in the region.
With the ability to handle air, truck, rail and sea freight, as well as its strong gateway customs clearance expertise, Your Cargo Contact will play a key role to further enhance these connections as well as to develop stronger export capabilities via Lenton's eCommerce online portal Hub-ez. Mark Lases, founder of the company, will remain CEO and will drive these new projects with his team.
YCC has already demonstrated being a valuable partner, helping us to overcome the Brexit & IOSS challenges for our international flows, and creating tailor-made solutions for us during the pandemic. Their expertise as well as the cooperation spirit of the team will help us to position Netherlands as a strategic gateway for our export and import services. YCC will help our growth strategy and certainly bring value for our customers and shareholders.
