Jan De Rijk Logistics Poland

What Jan De Rijk Logistics Poland does

Jan De Rijk Logistics Poland is the Polish operating footprint of Jan de Rijk Logistics, a Dutch family-owned transport and logistics provider founded in 1971 and headquartered in Roosendaal, Netherlands (legal entity J.A.M. de Rijk B.V.). The company operates an integrated European platform spanning international transport, contract logistics, intermodal transport, Benelux distribution, and freight forwarding (JDR Freight Solutions), supported by 27 offices across 13 countries, a fleet of 1,000+ vehicles, 130,000 sqm of warehouse space (with 100,000+ sqm in southern Netherlands), and company-owned intermodal trains running ten weekly departures between Benelux/Germany and Italy. Verticals served include automotive (with a dedicated subsidiary, Jan de Rijk Automotive, tied to DAF), aerospace, air cargo road feeder services, pharma and healthcare, e-commerce, retail, technology, general cargo, and sports events.

The technology backbone combines a proprietary J-Connect real-time shipment tracking portal with an in-house TMS controlling a multi-discipline fleet, an advanced WMS with pallet ASRS and robotic piece-pick capabilities, real-time temperature monitoring for 2–8°C, 15–25°C and -20°C cold chain, and integrations including CARGOIMP EDI for air cargo, Boltrics DMS for customs documentation, Gatehouse for security monitoring, and ERP for order processing. Revenue is generated through transaction fees (transport, distribution), managed services (warehousing, contract logistics, value-added services), and bespoke multi-year enterprise contracts; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. A dense certification stack — ISO 9001/14001/13485/27001/22000/45001, IATF 16949, TAPA TSR1, GDP, IATA CEIV Pharma, and AEO — anchors go-to-market in regulated verticals, and the customer base includes DAF Trucks, KLM Cargo, Bonduelle, Dutch Defence, and SMEG's aerospace division.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with account managers across 27 country offices, supplemented by an online quote-request channel and the J-Connect tracking portal for direct customer engagement, plus WhatsApp support outside business hours. Recent strategic actions — the November 2025 acquisition of Jan Tromp Transportgroep, deployment of seven low-deck electric Scania trucks (a Netherlands first), opening of a new Amstelveen facility, renewal of IATA CEIV Pharma certification, and Phase 2 expansion of the Dutch Defence cooperation — point to continued inorganic and organic growth across both regulated and sustainable logistics verticals.
