COTRA LAW ASSISTED ALL PARTIES IN THE ACQUISITION OF RIJOKO BY ESKATRANS

CoTra Law assisted all parties in the acquisition of Rijoko by Eskatrans.

Rijoko was founded by Roger Nuyts in the late 1970s and has focused on container transport since the early 1990s.  Over the years, sons Johan, Rik and Koen successfully expanded the company.

Eskatrans was founded in 2006 by Steven Meeus and has since grown into a solid player in the transport landscape. Following the takeover of De Backer Transport in early 2023, the acquisition of Rijoko significantly strengthens its offering in sea container transport.  Besides transport, Eskatrans also offers sales, storage and handling of containers from its site in Turnhout. The main destinations are Benelux, Germany and France from or to the ports of Antwerp, Zeebrugge or Rotterdam.

CoTra’s transaction team assisted both parties throughout the entire transaction, including the drafting and negotiation of the transaction documents and the successful closing of this acquisition.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Kurt Faes and Wim Vande Velde.
