50 years of caring for our clients
Conhexa’s history is a story of vision, daring and enterprise.
Conhexa is a family business in the truest sense of the phrase, with the current managing directors, Hilde Dejonghe and her husband Luc Van Holzaet, following in the footsteps of Hilde’s father. Conhexa draws on the experience and expertise of the various subsidiaries that have been created over the years: Hexatrans, Dunfrost and Dunfresh. More than 50 years since it first set up shop alongside the A25, Conhexa has become a full-service logistics partner at the crossroads between northern Europe, the British Isles and the south of the continent.
