In short

We started in 1989 moving urgent freight of any kind, and narrowed. Today the work is explosives, ammunition, pyrotechnics and radioactive material — cargo that needs a licence before it needs a truck.

A high-quality explosives logistics provider

The company has built up knowledge and experience across more than thirty years in the worldwide logistics sector. What began as a last-minute courier operation became a logistics provider concentrated on the explosives and military sector.

The focus has stayed on high quality, short lead times and customer-oriented solutions, and on long-term partnerships rather than one-off bookings.

Specialised in the dangerous goods sector

We transport explosives, sealed and unsealed radioactive sources and radioactive materials worldwide, by road, sea and air, with the documentation and licences each leg requires.

We operate four licensed warehouses for explosives storage and run our own fleet of trucks and trailers built to the requirements for explosives transport.

Storage and handling

Safe and fast

A dedicated department handles transit licences, escorts and the special explosives regulations that apply within European countries. A separate in-house security department provides armed and unarmed escort services.

Send the cargo, the two ends of the lane and the date. If we cannot move it ourselves we will tell you who can — same day.
