Founded in 2007 by Pieter Denys, Xwift has grown in recent years into an important player in the sector with more than a thousand employees and an annual turnover of 135 million euros. Since 2021, the company has accelerated its expansion through a successful buy-and-build strategy, in which acquisitions and organic growth go hand in hand.

At the Evergem site, Xwift becomes a neighbour to BMS, which expands its activities within the campus by 11,000 m² to support further automation. According to David Batens, Asset Manager at Heylen Warehouses, the arrival of Xwift underlines the appeal and flexibility of the logistics ecosystem in North Sea Port.

With this expansion, Ghent Logistic Campus 21 confirms its position as an important logistics hub for national and international players that focus on innovation in transport and logistics.
