History

The Weerts transport business started modestly before WWII with one truck for agricultural transport in and around Teuven, a small village in the Voeren region.

The real expansion started in the 1960s, when the firm started to develop into a national and international transport firm ‘Transports Weerts & Fils’.

Starting in 1989, the transport offering was complemented with warehousing and logistics handling activities.

In 1994, at the age of 26, Yves Weerts became the CEO of the group following the unexpected and sudden death of his father.

Under Yves’ leadership the road transport and logistics business further expanded until 2008, when the road transport division was sold and Yves decided to refocus on real estate, logistic warehouse activities and… racing! Each of these activities have witnessed significant growth in the last years and are poised for accelerated growth in the next coming years. In January 2023, the renewable energy division was created as the fourth division of the group.
