Since 2021

A boyhood dream on wheels

Malatra BV — full name Masschelin-Lannoo Transport — has existed since 2021, but the story starts much earlier. Wesley Masschelin was drawn to the world of transport as a child, and at 18, fresh out of school in Zeebrugge, he climbed straight behind the wheel as an international driver.

The dream of nearly every truck driver is to own their own tractor unit. In 2021, Wesley made that dream real — and chose a clear specialism from day one: transport to and from Italy. Not a coincidence, but a deliberate choice he has never strayed from since.

With its own tractor units, closed box trailers and refrigerated trucks, Malatra BV now runs a steady route between Belgium and Italy, complemented by trips across the rest of Europe and Great Britain. A loyal network of partners means there's a hassle-free solution for every load — from fresh produce to high-secured transport.

Now the circle is complete: son Twarres has joined the family business, ready to take to the road just like his father did. It's no coincidence one of our trailers is named Father & Son — a name that no longer just rides on its flank, but rings true.

You can overtake our trucks — never our service.

What we do

Services

Temperature-controlled, fashion, events and high-secured transport — our specialty, all across Europe.

High-Secured Transport

Closed box trailers and refrigerated trucks only — never an unsecured transport. From electronics to a supercar for a dealership: everything travels unseen and untouched.

Italy Specialists

Years of experience on the Belgium–Italy axis, with local connections stretching down to Calabria and Sicily. We know the roads, the customs, and the shortest route through the paperwork.

Europe Coverage

Beyond Italy we serve all of Europe and Great Britain, with the same reliable partners and the same punctual planning.

Fashion & Hanging Garments

Our trailers carry purpose-built garment rails, so collections travel hanging, not folded. From showroom to boutique, every piece arrives wrinkle-free.

Refrigerated Trucks

Closed refrigerated trucks for temperature-sensitive cargo, with continuous temperature monitoring from departure to arrival.

Personal Attention

No call centre, no anonymous dispatch: direct contact with Wesley, flexible and reachable whenever it matters.

Also among our capabilities:

  • Opening new stores across Europe (mainly Italy)
  • Loading antiques at trade fairs in southern France and Italy
  • Loading flowers and plants, in bulk and on trolleys
