What Visser does

Visser Duiven b.v. is a fourth-generation Dutch family logistics company founded in 1919 in Zevenaar and now headquartered in Duiven, Netherlands, operating from four sites on the Impact business park adjacent to the A12 motorway. The company provides an integrated portfolio of B2B logistics services: fine-meshed pallet distribution and package distribution (30 kg and above) across the Netherlands with a 24-hour service promise; warehousing with approximately 26,000 pallet locations; cross-docking through a 105-dock facility; fulfilment and e-fulfilment for webshops and physical stores; and Value Added Logistics (packaging, labelling, assembly). Distribution is executed via its own fleet (70+ trucks, ~80 traction units daily, three LZV long-heavy vehicles) and the TeamTrans partner network of ten independent family logistics companies, with cross-border coverage into Belgium via local partners.

The underlying technology stack centres on a logistics management system with real-time track-and-trace, an online customer portal (shipment registration, label/barcode printing, signed waybills, automatic email notifications), and a recently introduced machine-learning data layer that targets near-100% shipment data accuracy by reacting to human error in real time. Internal commercial and operational systems are tightly integrated; the customer-facing layer includes a dedicated status web portal (visser.statusweb.nl). Sustainability is a stated operational pillar, with HVO100 fossil-free fuel (up to 90% CO2 reduction), two Renault Master E-Tech electric vans introduced in 2025, three LZV trucks carrying up to 60% more cargo per trip, and planned 2x 2 MW electrical connections capable of charging up to 60 trucks off-peak, alongside a hydrogen refuelling initiative.

The business model is B2B, transaction- and managed-service-based, with custom quote-based pricing (no public price list), sales-led customer acquisition built on direct relationships and referrals, and a horizontal segmentation across production-and-trading companies, webshops/e-commerce businesses, and physical retail. Revenue is generated from per-shipment distribution fees (pallet and package) and managed-service contracts (warehousing, fulfilment, cross-docking, VAL). The company is private, family-owned, and led by fourth-generation director Cindy Visser alongside third-generation Marcel Visser and operational director Sven Baars, with no external investors or parent company disclosed.

Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• 5PLogisticscoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 September 2022Visser Duiven acquired 5PLogistics, a Duiven-based warehousing specialist focused on e-commerce fulfilment, following the death of its founder Maarten van Lenthe. The acquisition expanded Visser Duiven's warehouse capacity to 26,000 pallet locations and brought an experienced team and a fourth operational location at Impact 62 in Duiven. The acquired company was rebranded as Visser Duiven Logistics B.V.
• Logistics ValleyminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2021Visser Duiven partnered with Logistics Valley in 2021 to test a full electric truck. Logistics Valley is a regional initiative bringing together Gelderse (Gelderland) companies to advance sustainable logistics solutions. The test involved three Visser Duiven drivers testing a zero-emission truck in real operations.
• Colleague transport companies (hydrogen project)minorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2021Visser Duiven is working with a group of fellow transport companies on a hydrogen fuel project, with the goal of establishing a hydrogen refuelling station in Duiven to support a substantially larger fleet of hydrogen vehicles in the future.
• Middelkoop DuivencoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2016Visser Duiven acquired Middelkoop Duiven, a competitor in distribution and warehousing, in January 2016. The acquisition expanded Visser Duiven's market share, added pallet distribution volumes, provided access to modern warehouse facilities, and enabled handling of smaller shipments. The acquired company continued operating under its own name temporarily, with both Impact addresses in Duiven retained.
• TeamTranscoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorTeamTrans is a collaboration of 10 independent family logistics companies covering all regions of the Netherlands. Visser Duiven participates in this network, exchanging shipments with partners via a central depot in Nieuwegein. This enables Visser Duiven to offer same-day and next-day delivery of smaller shipments (from 30 kg) throughout the Netherlands. The network reduces empty kilometres and CO2 emissions as each partner operates in its own region, and shared sorting at the central depot improves efficiency.
