The flag

Federal Express Service Logistics Service BV of Rotterdam was the successor of Algemeen Vrachtkantoor BV (Transportgroep Alvracht). This last company was owned by the Unilever concern. Until 1989 the transport section of the concern carried raw material for soap and margarine production to factories in Germany and Holland. In 1989 Unilever was forced to sell their transport activities by a commission installed by the Dutch Government. The idea behind it was that Unilever should return to their basic activities. The transport section was bought by Federal Express, a USA-based courier service. They introduced the new name for the transport activities which also included road transport.
