The company operates daily urban and interurban commuter public transport for Belgian public transport authorities, based on cost-indexed, availability-based contracts. Hansea is also active in school and personnel transport and bus charter services.
Cube acquired a majority stake in Hansea from Transdev in 2014 with Gimv, a local Flemish government-backed private equity fund, acquiring a minority stake. Hansea has delivered strong operational and financial performance thanks to a combination of continuous operational optimization and selective add-on acquisitions, resulting in significant revenue and EBITDA growth over our holding period.
Cube and Gimv sold Hansea in 2019 to DWS, a global infrastructure manager.
