While joining the Spliethoff Group, ForestWave will maintain its brand identity and operational independence. Our management team remains in place, ensuring continuity in the high-quality service our clients have come to expect. This alliance allows both companies to leverage their strengths, with the ability to utilise the combined fleet’s tonnage, offering greater flexibility and efficiency to our clients.
On behalf of the Spliethoff Group board, Mr. Bras and Mr. van den Heuvel emphasise the importance of this step: “After so many years of constructive and enjoyable cooperation with ForestWave, formalizing this relationship is a logical consequence. The acquisition of ForestWave creates synergy and allows us to offer our customers an even wider range of logistic solutions. We look forward to a productive collaboration.”
Mr. Fred Diepeveen, Managing Director of ForestWave, adds: “This strategic alliance with Spliethoff Group enables us to realise our full potential. We maintain our identity and independent operations while benefiting from new opportunities. Together, we can serve our customers and colleagues even better.”
As part of this transition, we’re also streamlining our brand identity. We’ll gradually phase out the Schulte & Bruns Netherlands name, operating exclusively under the brand name ForestWave. In the coming weeks, we’ll reach out to relevant customers to explain what this means for them. It’s important to note that this is purely a name change – our services will remain the same.
