What Weerts Group does

Weerts Group is a Belgian family-owned diversified holding company founded in 2008 by Yves Weerts following the divestment of his prior road transport business (Transports Weerts & Fils). Headquartered in Liège (Bierset), Belgium, and registered as Weerts Group NV, the company operates across four business divisions: Weerts Supply Chain (high value-added warehousing, transport and logistics services in food, household electronics and automotive sectors), Weerts Logistics Parks (real estate development across warehousing, semi-industrial, office and residential asset classes in nine European countries), W-Racing Team (a professional GT3 and LMP2 motorsport team plus specialty workshop serving 3 of the 4 largest global OEMs), and Weerts Renewable Energy (solar production on industrial rooftops, currently 26 MWp with 220 MWp targeted by 2025).

The group's technology stack centers on industrial assets rather than software: 26 MWp of solar infrastructure (avoiding ~10 million kg CO2 annually), BREEAM-certified sustainable buildings, and a 60,500 sqm CO2-neutral D328eco regional aircraft Final Assembly Line at Leipzig/Halle Airport being built with Deutsche Aircraft. Its renewable energy arm is extending into utility-scale battery storage via a 170-MW/340-MWh joint venture with Aukera (Project Volt) in La Louviere, Belgium, secured under a 15-year Elia capacity contract and supported by senior debt from ABN AMRO and Triodos Bank.

The revenue model combines recurring logistics service fees, one-time real estate development sales plus rental income, professional motorsport services and sponsorship, and renewable energy sales (with new managed services revenue from the BESS joint venture expected from mid-2027). Go-to-market is sales-led, direct enterprise B2B across nine countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Italy, UK, Hungary, Romania). Pricing is contract-based and not publicly disclosed. The group remains entirely family-owned with no external funding rounds or institutional investors disclosed.
