History

DLG has become a successful transport company thanks to its rich history. For many years, Visbeen Transport, Post-Kogeko Logistics and DailyFresh Logistics provided national and international transport, trailer and container haulage and multimodal transport. In 2019, these three brands merged to form the Daily Logistics Group, so they could develop even better solutions for transporting fresh, chilled and frozen products. Together, cleaner, smarter!

DailyFresh Logistics had cross-docking facilities in the Hook of Holland and delivered produce daily to customers in the United Kingdom and Ireland. From this point, Visbeen and Post-Kogeko worked together more and more often.

Three strong brands became one

For our former companies, Visbeen Transport, Post-Kogeko Logistics and DailyFresh Logistics, cooperation was always key to the successes that we have achieved in our history.

• 2019: This cooperation became even deeper when the three strong brands merged to form the Daily Logistics Group (DLG) transport company. 

The merger of the companies confirmed what we knew all along: you can go faster alone, but work together and you’ll go further. Together, cleaner, smarter!

Future-oriented growth

• 2022: As of August 28, the Daily Logistics Group (DLG) took over the logistics activities and the associated staff of GIST Netherlands. This acquisition includes logistics services in the Benelux and to the United Kingdom, primarily for flowers and plants.
