Earlier this year, we joined CCE Group.
Not because we were looking to sell. Not because we needed rescuing. But because CCE Group is building something we actually believe in – something the cargo industry has needed for a long time.
CCE Group isn’t another conglomerate collecting logos. They’re building a high‑performance ecosystem of niche companies: specialists who know that the future of cabin and cargo isn’t about individual products, but about systems designed to work under pressure. And they wanted us in.
Formed in 2023, CCE Group brought together AviusULD, a global leader in ULD solutions with over 50 years of expertise, and Driessen Catering Equipment, the undisputed market leader in onboard catering equipment. Most groups would have stopped there. Post a press release, set up a holding company, and call it a day.
But CCE Group went further. They saw the chance to build what the industry has lacked for years: a team of niche companies, each excellent at its craft, working together by design. With €150+ million in revenue, 1,500+ staff across five countries, and leadership focused on engineering and execution over quick wins, we knew we’d found the right fit.
What CCE Group Looks For: And Why We Fit the Bill
CCE Group focuses on companies that are already leaders in their niche within the cabin and cargo sector; businesses with a strong track record, trusted customer relationships, and the potential to achieve even greater scale.
When they approached us, they already knew our reputation and the trust we had built with operators worldwide. They saw a company with decades of experience, proven engineering expertise, and a culture of innovation. Most importantly, they saw alignment with their vision for a high-performance ecosystem.
CCE Group’s approach is to support and accelerate the strengths of the companies they invest in, creating partnerships that build on proven success.
The Future Is Ecosystems, Not Silos
Cargo has never been more complex: lithium battery safety, pharma logistics, emissions reporting, ESG audits: all under tighter deadlines and cost pressures.
The old model of piecing gear together from multiple suppliers no longer works. Gear doesn’t fit. Data doesn’t connect. And when something fails, accountability disappears.
CCE Group is solving that problem: building an ecosystem where every component: ULD, net, thermal cover, trolley, strap, and fire containment cover is engineered to work together. No duct tape. No scramble calls. Just integrated, field‑tested solutions that move faster, last longer, and meet every regulatory demand.
Why AviusULD and Trip & Co Click
Among the companies in the CCE Group ecosystem, the synergy between AviusULD and Trip & Co is the most immediate. Their focus: designing world‑class pallets and ULDs. Ours: building the nets, straps, and covers that secure the load and support compliance while helping operators control costs.
Even the best-designed ULD can only fly if the right equipment is in place at the right time. That’s why our gear is engineered to integrate seamlessly. For operators, that means fewer weak links, fewer delays, and less downtime.
Our combined product range covers every angle: pallets, lower and main deck containers, fire-resistant containers, SmartULD asset tracking, tie-down straps, cargo nets, covers, and ground-handling necessities.
Individually, each product solves a specific challenge. Together, they create a system operators can actually trust under pressure.
The benefits also go well beyond stronger gear. Crews face fewer delays from mismatched or missing equipment. Costs drop because there’s less need for emergency sourcing and replacements. Compliance with FAA and EASA standards becomes simpler and more reliable. And sustainability gets smarter, with repairable and recyclable designs built in.
From Grounded to Ready‑to‑Fly: The Pre‑Assembled Edge
Take an airline managing hundreds of flights weekly.
In the old model: pallets from one supplier, nets from another, covers from a third. Lead times stretched. Costs climbed. And every missing piece risked a grounded shipment.
Now, with us and AviusULD working together, they can order pre‑assembled pallet‑and‑net packages direct from a CCE hub.
It’s not just convenient. It’s cost‑effective. Less freight. Less admin. More uptime.
A Smarter, More Sustainable Air Cargo Future
In cargo, delays cost more than money – they cost reputation. That’s why our global stocking network keeps gear close at hand. From Hong Kong to Frankfurt, Chicago to Bangkok, we deliver in days, not weeks. Certified repair facilities worldwide keep downtime low and capital under control.
And reach is only half the story. Together with AviusULD, we’re delivering measurable sustainability: lightweight builds that cut fuel burn, repairable designs that extend product life, recyclable materials that support circular economy goals, and SmartULD intelligence that optimizes loading and safety before takeoff.
At the end of the day, airlines and forwarders want more than equipment. They want certainty. Certainty that cargo will move safely, on time, and in full compliance. That’s what our synergy with AviusULD delivers. Backed by the scale of CCE Group, we offer a complete cargo ecosystem: smarter, lighter, safer, and globally connected.
Trip & Co and AviusULD: complete air cargo solutions engineered to work together.
