The Hoyer Group recently acquired the intermediate bulk container (IBC) logistics business of French company Trans Modal Partenaires (TMP) in a deal that includes all the IBC tanks managed by TMP in France and Spain, together with the services previously provided by TMP.
“We are excited at the opportunities brought by this acquisition,” Marlen Blechschmidt, Hoyer director of IBC logistics, said in a news release. “TMP’s strong market presence in the food and cosmetics sector in Spain and France perfectly complements our IBC totes portfolio and enables us to offer our customers even greater added value. As well as expanding our market shares, we see this as an opportunity to reach new customers and to further strengthen our position in the industry.”
The range of services offered by the Hoyer Group around the use of IBCs includes fleet management, rental, transportation, cleaning, maintenance, and repair. All the services can be modularly combined, Hoyer added. The company’s fleet includes over 60,000 IBC tanks for chemical, food, and cosmetics transportation and storage. The containers, with a volume of 500 to 2,500 liters, are available in various stainless-steel grades, designs, and sizes, some with agitators, heating and dangerous goods approval, in Europe, the U.S., and China.
“In the Hoyer Group, we have found the perfect, reliable, secure partner to take over the IBC totes activities,” said Bernard Miquel, TMP proprietor. “Knowing that the experts from the Hoyer family business will continue to run and develop the company I have built up in my spirit and in line with my values, I can enter retirement with the greatest confidence and satisfaction.”
