Delphi Advisors advised the family shareholders’ succession of RGW Express Poland to BBL Group, continuing the deal activity traction in Q1 2022 following a strong 2021

Delphi Advisors advised the family shareholders of RGW Express Sp. Z o.o. on succession planning via M&A, as a result of which the company joined French logistics solution provider Groupe BBL (https://groupe-bbl.com/). RGW Express is a Warsaw, Poland-based logistics company which looks back upon a rich 32 year history as a family founded, owned and managed business. The company is a provider of overseas freight forwarding services, particularly in time-critical transportation and Customs brokerage that very early specialized in time-critical air freight forwarding services. In the past 15 years, RGW Express has been developing multimodal sea freight and rail freight solutions in addition to its historical core business. Joining Groupe BBL, the French logistics group with 1,320 employees and €400m turnover in 2021, marks the next milestone in the history of RGW Express, enabling expansion of the business and service portfolio. Going forward, Groupe BBL envisions to build upon RGW’s service expertise and excellent brand reputation in the CEE market to expand their geographical scope and service offering. Delphi Advisors herewith successfully completed another cross border, mid-market, value-added industrial services mandate enabling its client to achieve their strategic goals.
