Katoen Natie acquires

South Coast Logistics has announced that it has been acquired by Katoen Natie, a global leader in integrated logistics and port operations.

Both South Coast Logistics and Katoen Natie are proud family-owned companies, each with a long-standing tradition of excellence and commitment to their people and clients.

South Coast Logistics, under the stewardship of the O’Flynn family for 50 years, has become a trusted partner in the Irish logistics sector, serving the pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and food manufacturing industries.

Katoen Natie, also family-owned and headquartered in Belgium, operates in over 35 countries and is recognized for its innovative, asset-based approach and long-term partnerships.

This acquisition marks an important milestone for both organizations and will enable South Coast Logistics to benefit from Katoen Natie’s global expertise and resources.

The existing management team at South Coast Logistics will remain in place, ensuring continuity and stability for all stakeholders.
