We are proud to announce that, today, Continental Worldwide Logistics (CONTI) has joined the Manuport Logistics family. With 40 employees and offices in Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid, Manuport Logistics is expanding its Southern European coverage and freight forwarding services. CONTI, founded in the early 1990s, is a well-established company in Spain, with a globally respected reputation and track record. It is specialized in freight forwarding by sea, but also in truck transport and air freight. On top of that, CONTI has its own in-house Customs Broker Division. So CONTI is a perfect match with Manuport Logistics! The company, now operating under the auspices of Manuport Logistics, will keep its name for the next year, and its long-term relationships with global partners will be honored.
This acquisition is part of Manuport’s global development strategy, consisting of the expansion of our worldwide office network with our own MPL differentiators (specialized and enthusiastic staff). This is in order to serve our international customers better. We will develop our commodity expertise in Spain as well, with for example a focus on liquids products.

MPL and Belgian Sugar Exports Accelerate as Harvest Yields Strong Results
With the start of the sugar campaign just behind us, Belgian sugar exports are gaining momentum. During the previous sugar season, Belgian freight forwarder Manuport Logistics (MPL) transported 28,599 containers, representing 719,000 tons of sugar. The forwarder plays a key role in Belgian sugar exports, which remained stable at 112 kilotons in July 2025 but were 43 percent lower than a year earlier. Expectations are higher for the current season, partly due to favorable weather conditions and rapid initial growth of the beets.
