What Nabuurs - supply chain solutions does

Nabuurs B.V. is a privately held Dutch logistics service provider specialising in integrated supply chain solutions for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). Founded over 60 years ago and headquartered in Haps, Netherlands, the company operates through two business units: Logistic Concepts, which manages factory-to-market distribution, and City Logistics, which handles last-mile delivery to hospitality businesses in Dutch city centres. Nabuurs employs more than 3,000 people across 14 warehouse sites and serves Food, Personal Care, Retail and Horeca customers that include Mars, AB InBev, Heineken and its beer brands, Nutricia, Essity, Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Sligro and Plus.

The service portfolio spans warehousing (shared and dedicated), multi-client and dedicated distribution, fijnmazige (fine-meshed) and cross-docking operations, co-packing through the Na-Nomi joint venture, e-fulfilment, and international freight forwarding via the wholly-owned Freight Frame subsidiary. The technology stack comprises an integrated WMS/TMS platform, a proprietary Load Optimizer for truck fill rates, an Automatic Layer Picker for warehouse mechanisation, a Real-time Track & Trace system providing batch-level visibility, and a CO2 Dashboard for sustainability monitoring. Food-safety compliance is anchored by FSSC 22000 (GFSI), IFS, HACCP, ISO and General Food Law certifications, including SAMR-compliant warehousing for baby-food clients exporting to China.

Commercially, Nabuurs runs an enterprise B2B go-to-market with custom, quote-based pricing delivered through direct sales and an online calculator channel; pricing is transaction-based for transport and unit-based (per pallet) for storage. Revenue is generated across five streams: transport services, warehousing and storage, co-packing, freight forwarding and customs, and e-fulfilment. Geographically, the network is anchored in the Netherlands and Benelux, extended across Western Europe (Germany, France, UK, Spain, Portugal, Italy) and into Scandinavia via a Finland cross-dock. Ownership is family-controlled with no disclosed external investors or public listing.
