Stolt-Nielsen Limited has acquired Suttons Group International Holdings for an undisclosed amount, further consolidating its position in the global bulk liquid logistics sector. Stolt-Nielsen, a major provider of integrated logistics solutions for bulk liquids, has purchased Suttons, a successful privately owned global supply chain solutions provider. This acquisition significantly expands Stolt-Nielsen’s capabilities and reach in the tank container logistics market.
Suttons Group specializes in the safe movement of chemicals, gases, foods, waste, and fuels, offering high-quality and cost-effective supply chain services with a strong focus on safety and sustainability.

Suttons’ expertise also spans on-site logistics and import/export services, supported by 32 locations in the UK and 48 globally.
This strategic acquisition is expected to generate significant synergies by integrating Suttons Group’s robust network and specialized services with Stolt-Nielsen’s existing operations. The combination will enhance fleet capacity, broaden the geographical footprint, and diversify the service portfolio, creating a more comprehensive global offering for customers. The merger aims to leverage shared operational best practices, particularly in safety and sustainability, to drive efficiencies and elevate service delivery across the combined entity.
