Wallenborn Transports and Cathay Cargo Strengthen Their Partnership in Europe

31. March 2026

New trucking agreement expands intermodal connectivity, enhances efficiency, and introduces greater shipment visibility through live tracking and real-time temperature data.

Wallenborn Transports announces the signing of a new trucking partnership agreement with Cathay Cargo, concluded on February 5th, 2026, marking a further step in the development of their long-standing cooperation in Europe. The agreement reinforces their shared commitment to delivering more efficient, connected, and customer-centric intermodal transport solutions across the region.

Building on existing operations, the partnership supports the further expansion of Cathay Cargo’s European intermodal network while strengthening service quality, operational efficiency, and overall customer experience. For customers, this means broader connectivity across Europe, improved process reliability, and greater transparency throughout the transport journey.

A key element of the agreement is the introduction of new customer-focused capabilities, including live shipment tracking and real-time temperature data. These features will provide customers with improved visibility over their shipments, allowing for more precise monitoring and stronger process control in the handling of sensitive cargo. By giving customers and operational teams access to real-time shipment data, these tools also enable faster decision-making and a quicker response to delays or disruptions. For temperature-sensitive cargo in particular, early visibility of deviations helps support product integrity and reduces the risk of avoidable quality incidents across the transport chain.

The partnership reflects a shared ambition to combine operational excellence with digital visibility in order to meet the growing expectations of today’s supply chains, where reliability and service transparency are increasingly essential.

“This agreement with Cathay Cargo represents an important milestone in the continued development of our European trucking network,” said Frantz Wallenborn, Executive Chairman of Wallenborn Transports. “By strengthening our cooperation with one of the world’s leading air cargo carriers, we are not only expanding connectivity and efficiency but also delivering added value to customers through enhanced live tracking capabilities and real-time temperature monitoring. “

For Wallenborn Transports, the agreement also reflects the continued development of a company that has long been recognized in the industry as a key player in European road feeder services (RFS). This long-standing market position is closely linked to the company’s heritage: Frantz Wallenborn’s route into the business grew out of direct exposure to his family’s transport operations from an early stage, reflecting the continuity and operational grounding that still shape the company today.
