The Rhenus Group has completed the acquisition of all remaining shares of Grupo Totalm\u00e9dia becoming the company\u2019s sole owner, effective 1 February 2026. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This transaction marks the final stage of Totalm\u00e9dia\u2019s transformation that began with the stake acquisition in early 2023 and culminated in its rebranding as Rhenus Logistics on 1 February 2025. <\/p>\n

Founded in 1998, Totalm\u00e9dia has established a strong reputation in Portugal and Spain as a specialist in Home Delivery of large and bulky items. Through its integration into the Rhenus brand, the Home Delivery service strengthened its position in Portugal with a robust national footprint. <\/p>\n

This scale reinforces Rhenus\u2019 broader strategy to expand its high\u2011quality Home Delivery network across Europe. As part of the Home Delivery activities operated by Rhenus in fourteen European countries, handling around seven million shipments annually, the Portuguese setup will continue to benefit from an established international structure known for innovation and sustainability. <\/p>\n

The completion of the acquisition paves the way for the integration of Rhenus\u2019 Home Delivery and Road Logistics activities under the newly formed Rhenus Overland Portugal framework. This combined structure includes 16 platforms in Portugal, with 10 operated directly by Rhenus and 6 subcontracted, supported by more than 400 employees, in addition to more than 1,000 partners. The Overland division in Portugal handles more than 3.5 million shipments per year and operates over 24,000 m\u00b2 of warehousing space. <\/p>\n

Bringing these capabilities together allows Rhenus to offer customers more efficient end\u2011to\u2011end solutions that integrate first\u2011mile, linehaul and last\u2011mile services with scalable warehousing and value\u2011added offerings. This transition also aligns Grupo Totalm\u00e9dia\u2019s long\u2011standing customer\u2011focused values with the global principles of the Rhenus Group, including entrepreneurial thinking, continuity and integrity. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe final acquisition of Grupo Totalm\u00e9dia marks a decisive step in strengthening our position in Portugal. With full ownership now completed, we are able to bring the Home Delivery and Road Logistics operations together under Rhenus Overland Portugal with greater clarity and strategic direction,\u201d says Frederico Beck, Managing Director of Rhenus Overland Portugal. \u201cIt is a milestone that reinforces our longterm commitment to the Portuguese market and sets the foundation for sustainable growth in the years ahead.\u201d <\/p>\n
