In an increasingly interconnected global economy, logistics play a fundamental role in international cooperation, enabling the exchange not only of goods, but also of knowledge, expertise and trust.
Gosselin, a prominent Belgian logistics group with a long-established reputation for operational excellence, has consistently demonstrated its ability to manage complex cross-border logistics operations. Together with its specialist subsidiary Heavy, Gosselin works in close partnership with Japanese companies to support a wide range of industrial sectors throughout Europe. This cooperation is founded on shared values of precision, reliability and continuous improvement — principles deeply embedded in the industrial cultures of both Japan and Belgium.
Over time, these partnerships have evolved beyond transactional engagements into long-term relationships characterized by dedication, transparency, mutual respect and trust.
Belgium’s central location within Europe provides direct access to major continental markets, supported by advanced infrastructure and well-established logistics expertise. Japan contributes world-leading technological innovation and a disciplined approach to quality management and continuous improvement. Combined, these strengths create an effective synergy, enabling complex logistics operations to be executed with consistency, foresight and accuracy.
Heavy operates within Gosselin Logistics, a division that is organized around specialized business units serving multiple industries.
Japanese industrial companies are internationally recognized for their commitment to quality, reliability and long-term customer relationships. Heavy reflects these values by delivering fully integrated logistics services, ranging from inbound transportation and bonded warehousing to customs clearance and distribution across Europe.
By operating with its own equipment, assets and carefully trained personnel, Heavy maintains strict control over quality, safety and delivery schedules — essential requirements for high-value and complex industrial cargo.
Heavy operates within Gosselin Logistics, a division that is organized around specialized business units serving multiple industries. These include 360-degree logistics for comprehensive supply-chain solutions; forest logistics for timber and wood-based sectors; industrial projects for heavy lift and complex project cargo; and port logistics, offering integrated services at key European ports. This structure allows Gosselin to combine specialization with scale while maintaining consistent service standards.
In parallel, Gosselin’s corporate moving division, supported by its own extensive European network, serves as a dependable partner for Japanese relocation companies. With a strong emphasis on service continuity, discretion and cultural understanding, the division supports corporate mobility programs across Europe.
Going beyond operational performance, this cooperation reflects the broader diplomatic and cultural ties between Japan and Belgium. Both countries recognize that logistics is not merely the movement of goods, but a means of enabling growth, fostering trust and strengthening long-term connections.
As global supply chains face increasing complexity and uncertainty, Gosselin’s ambition is clear: to be the best-in-class logistics partner for Japanese companies, delivering dependable, end-to-end logistics services throughout Europe, and in doing so, to contribute to a Japan- Belgium relationship defined by mutual respect, resilience and long-term collaboration.
