AD Ports Group announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire MBS Logistics, a Germany-based integrated logistics services provider, for an enterprise value of AED 300 million (EUR 70 million).
The transaction involves the acquisition of 100% ownership of MBS Logistics’ core business, excluding its joint ventures, and forms part of AD Ports Group’s strategy to expand its global logistics platform and strengthen its international footprint.
MBS Logistics reported revenues of approximately AED 870 million (EUR 205 million) in 2025 and operates an asset-light business model focused on freight forwarding across Germany and Central Europe, alongside operations in China, Vietnam and the United States.
According to AD Ports Group, the acquisition will provide:
• Immediate access to key Central European logistics corridors
• Expanded Europe-Asia and Trans-Pacific trade lane connectivity
• Enhanced freight forwarding capabilities across air, ocean, road and rail transport
• Greater network density and procurement scale
• Cross-selling and operational synergy opportunities
MBS Logistics operates a network of 26 offices globally with a workforce of more than 450 employees. The company serves sectors including aerospace, automotive, apparel, retail, e-commerce, engineering, technology, FMCG and healthcare.
AD Ports Group stated that the acquisition will further strengthen Noatum Logistics, its logistics arm, which currently operates over 80 offices across 26 countries.
The company added that Germany’s role as Europe’s largest trading economy and a major logistics gateway provides a strategic platform for further expansion across continental Europe, including the Nordics, BENELUX, Switzerland and Eastern Europe.
Completion of the acquisition remains subject to EU regulatory approvals and is expected during the second half of 2026.
