About ANCOTRANS

ANCOTRANS, operates in the transport and logistics industry with a focus on container road transport solutions. We also offer solutions in rail, intermodal and to a lesser extend tank and trailer. ANCOTRANS is one of Denmark’s oldest family-owned and family-managed companies. We have around 900 trucks and 2000 chassis in daily rotation throughout Europe with offices in several key cities throughout their core markets in Germany, Benelux, Sweden, and Denmark. We have more than 450 employees and around 600 subcontractors, all of whom keep the wheels turning handling more than 335.000 yearly transports.

Currently, Denmark and Sweden constitute 2/3 of the activities, and Benelux and Germany constitute 1/3. But as ANCOTRANS is already the market leader in Denmark the biggest potential lies outside of Denmark with Benelux being an important strategic area.
