As a result of the transaction, over 500 employees and 16 branches of Bexity, headquartered in Vienna, are joining the Raben family. The transaction was initiated in December 2021 but was only recently approved by antitrust authorities.
By joining the Raben Group, Bexity, formerly operating under the name Q-Logistics and previously owned by RCA, finally lands in the hands of a strategic owner. The previous owner, the Mutares holding, acquired the company at the end of 2019 and successfully restructured it over the last 24 months. Bexity is now ready for the next step, which is development within a Group operating in the logistics sector.
– We are extremely proud to welcome the employees, customers, and suppliers of Bexity to the Raben Group. Austria fits perfectly into our map of Europe, acting as a bridge between Germany and Italy, as well as a hub connecting Central European countries – says Ewald Raben, CEO of the Raben Group.
Cooperation between Raben and Bexity in the delivery of groupage shipments between Austria and the Raben Group countries has been ongoing for over 10 years. Both companies are also united by a green approach to logistics. As is well known, Raben is a proponent of ecological solutions in transport, which is why the main advantage of the new member of the Raben family is the fact that many of Bexity’s terminals offer direct rail connections, and domestic distribution is carried out using this very mode of transport.
The Bexity groupage network has existed since 1986 and was the first to offer 24-hour service throughout Austria. The company transports over 10,000 shipments daily. Thanks to the intensive use of rail transport, this is possible in a truly ecological way. The company has 16 branches in Austria and employs over 500 people. As part of the signed acquisition transaction, all locations are joining the Raben Group, and Bexity employees are becoming members of the Raben family. Meanwhile, Austria is now the 15th country where the Group has its branches.
