Nooteboom take over Pacton/Kennis

Low loader and trailer specialist Nooteboom has purchased the Kennis Trailers division of Pacton B.V. in Ommen, Holland.

Kennis specialises in the manufacture of brick-trailers and beds for the construction industry, producing over 100 semi-trailers a year. Its products are largely sold in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and the UK.

Nooteboom’s strategy is to increase the sales of the existing Kennis product range, while expanding the service organisation, making use of the existing Nooteboom and Pacton Trailers service centres.
