Getlink Customs Services has strengthened its European network with the acquisition of Bongers Customs Services, expanding its presence in the Netherlands and enhancing support for businesses trading between the UK and Europe.
Established in 2001, Bongers Customs Services is a trusted customs specialist based near Rotterdam, providing import, export and transit declarations, alongside health and phytosanitary formalities. As an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO), the business has built a strong reputation for delivering reliable and compliant customs solutions, particularly for trade between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Located close to the Port of Rotterdam – Europe’s largest seaport – and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Bongers Customs Services is strategically positioned at the heart of some of Europe’s busiest international trade routes. Its addition significantly strengthens Getlink Customs Services’ ability to support customers across key freight corridors.
The acquisition further expands Getlink Customs Services’ growing European network, enabling customers to benefit from a seamless customs service across the UK, France, the Netherlands and Switzerland. By combining local customs expertise with advanced digital technology, businesses can simplify complex cross-border movements while maintaining speed, compliance and visibility throughout the supply chain.
Julie Bagur, CEO of Getlink Customs Services, said:
“Getlink Customs Services’ strength lies in supporting its clients from start to finish through our presence at the heart of major trade flows across strategic locations. Our teams deliver reliable, coordinated customs solutions with customer experience at the centre of everything we do. We share these values with Bongers Customs Services and are delighted to welcome them to the Group, enabling us to offer customers comprehensive customs support across Europe’s main freight routes.”
The acquisition also strengthens Getlink Customs Services’ digital offering, combining Bongers’ customs expertise with intelligent, AI-powered customs technology to deliver faster processing, greater accuracy and an enhanced customer experience.
As Getlink Customs Services continues to grow, the business remains committed to helping organisations navigate increasingly complex customs requirements through a combination of local expertise, innovative technology and end-to-end customs support across Europe.
