About Black Cat

Black Cat Logistics supports productions, events and transport projects where timing, precision and reliability matter.

We are a logistics partner for touring productions, festivals, exhibitions, sports events and specialist transport. Our work is not only about moving equipment from A to B. It is about preparation, communication, responsibility and making sure every part of the operation keeps moving.

From planning and transport to warehousing, crew and on-site support, Black Cat helps clients keep control over complex logistics across Europe.

Black Cat Project & Event Logistics was born from the event industry and built through years of hands-on experience in some of the most demanding environments imaginable.

Our story begins on stage.

Founder Timon Magilse started his career as a professional drummer, performing at corporate events, festivals and international tours across Europe. Long before Black Cat existed, logistics was already part of everyday life. Instruments, backline and production equipment always had to be in the right place, at the right time. What started with transporting drum kits by bicycle, cargo bike and ageing vans gradually developed into a passion for planning, organising and moving complex projects.

In 2012, that passion became a business.

What began as practical support for bands and live productions quickly evolved into a specialised logistics operation serving the wider entertainment industry. As demand grew, so did the scope of projects. Festival transport expanded into international tour logistics, exhibition freight and complex project movements across Europe.

Over the following years, Black Cat invested heavily in specialised equipment, expanding from small-scale event transport to dedicated trucks capable of supporting major productions, touring schedules and time-critical projects. By 2018, the company had established itself as a trusted logistics partner for clients operating across multiple countries and industries.

Our roots in live events continue to shape the way we work.

The event industry leaves no room for excuses. Deadlines are fixed, schedules are tight and every delay has consequences. That mentality still defines Black Cat today. Successful logistics is not simply about moving cargo — it is about protecting project timelines, anticipating risks and finding solutions before problems arise. It is an approach built around one simple principle: the show must go on.

When the global pandemic brought the event industry to a standstill in 2020, Black Cat adapted within hours. Operations were redirected towards volume transport while retaining the entire team and continuing to support partners throughout the sector. During this challenging period, the company expanded significantly, strengthening both its fleet and operational capabilities while helping customers and industry partners navigate unprecedented circumstances.

As the business continued to grow, operations were consolidated into a limited company structure in 2021. The company later became part of the Higher Level Logistics Group, , further strengthening its network, resources and ability to support clients across a broader range of logistics projects.

As the events industry recovered, clients increasingly relied on Black Cat not only for transportation, but for complete project logistics support. The combination of event-sector experience, operational flexibility and a solution-focused mindset became a defining strength.

Today, Black Cat Project & Event Logistics delivers logistics solutions across Europe for events, exhibitions, touring productions, motorsport, project cargo and time-critical freight.

In 2025, the company expanded beyond logistics with the launch of Black Cat Production & Crew Service, providing experienced event personnel, project support and on-site expertise for clients requiring complete operational support. The division quickly developed into a growing operation in its own right, further strengthening Black Cat's position within the live events and project logistics sectors.

From stages and festivals to international logistics projects, one principle has remained unchanged:
