Antwerp Distribution and Products Operations (ADPO) was founded in 1988 as a Belgian, private and family -managed company. On the left bank of the river Scheldt in the Port of Antwerp an integrated chemical distribution complex of 15 ha was constructed. ADPO was the first company that combined all aspects of physical distribution for liquid bulk products on one site. In 1999, AFC (transport division of ADPO) was established in order to offer our customers the full supply chain concept. ADPO strengthened its position in conventional cargo handling, forwarding and warehousing with the acquisition of two well-established companies, both active on the right bank of the river Scheldt in Antwerp.

ADPO’s mission is to offer integrated product flow solutions in accordance with environmental, safety and health regulations without compromises, and to contribute to a high-quality standard of living for today’s and future generations. The company is investing heavily in sustainability and counts more than 300 employees who really make the difference for their clients.
