Sennder completes CH Robinson EST buy

[ February 3, 2025   //   ]

Digital road freight forwarder sennder has successfully closed the acquisition of the European Surface Transportation (EST) operations of US-based CH Robinson. It said its combined business make it one of the top five full truck load players in the European market, spanning over 20 locations and connecting shippers with a fleet of over 40,000 trucks.

Sennder will also strengthen its management team with new members from CH Robinson – Chris Mills (former vice president of EST), Christoffer Haldemar (former sales director) and Arkadiusz Glinka (former product director), who become chief operating officer, chief commercial officer and chief growth officer, respectively. 

Sennder acquired Uber Freight’s European business in 2021 and set up joint ventures with Poste Italiane in 2021 and Scania in 2023.  

After a transition period, EST will operate under the Sennder brand. The terms of the transaction will not be disclosed. 

Sennder chief executive and founder, David Nothacker, said: “By adding the expertise and network of EST to sennder’s digital platform, we are accelerating our mission to build an efficient and sustainable road freight network in Europe and enhancing our service offering to more than 20 markets. We look forward to joining forces with, and welcoming, the EST employees to sennder for this promising opportunity.”
