Over the years, he managed to expand the company by creating more and more affiliated offices in several border towns.

1976 Gerard Cabooter, Jan's son, joined the company as the 2nd generation. He started to focus more on the transport and logistics part of the border area. Besides this, he began to invest in logistical real estate.

1996 Eric and Hans Cabooter, both sons of Gerard and thus the 3rd generation, took over the day-to-day management from Gerard and continued to successfully expand the business.
