Building a Market-Leading 24/7 Critical Logistics Business.
We transformed V-One from a specialist time-critical logistics provider into a high-growth European leader in premium freight solutions, now part of Flash Europe.
V-One served industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, delivering urgent freight solutions across Europe with a focus on technology, transparency, and trusted partnerships — all operating 24/7.
