What Rietveld Logistics Group does

Rietveld Logistics Group is a privately held, family-owned Dutch third-party logistics provider headquartered in Oosterhout, Netherlands, with operations traceable to 1946. The company delivers integrated container logistics across four core service lines: barge and terminal operations at the Oosterhout Container Terminal (OCT) — a 24/7 Class V inland facility with unrestricted access; inland barging via the West Brabant Corridor (WBC), which provides 24 fixed weekly windows and 12 flexible calls linking Rotterdam deep-sea terminals to inland destinations; road transport via a modern 40-truck fleet supplemented by trusted partner carriers, offering FTL, LTL groupage, and dedicated fleet services; storage and warehousing with over 300,000 m² of capacity near Rotterdam and Amsterdam; and customs services acting as EU direct representative. Customers are concentrated in four verticals: FMCG, Food & Feed, Automotive, and Plastics.

The technology stack centers on operational infrastructure rather than software products: a Warehouse Management System enables inventory tracking and value-added logistics (repacking, relabeling, assembly, order picking); an integrated planning layer underpins the West Brabant Corridor barge scheduling system, providing predictable windows and container dwell-time improvements; and a third-party Modality client portal supports self-service shipment management for existing accounts. The firm carries a dense stack of industry certifications — including AEO, ISO 9001, ISO 22000, GMP+ Feed, IFS Logistics, NL Bio SKAL, ProTerra, Halal, Kosher, and the Lean and Green Award — which gate entry into regulated food, feed, and organic supply chains.

Commercially, Rietveld operates a sales-led B2B model with quote-based pricing, a published fuel surcharge mechanism (tied to a €0.962/liter baseline since January 1, 2007), and a dedicated client portal for existing accounts. The group comprises twelve wholly-owned Dutch B.V. subsidiaries spanning transport, terminal, customs, freight forwarding, real estate, and equipment, organized under Rietveld Holding B.V. Service delivery combines owned assets (trucks, terminal, warehouses) with partner networks, and the go-to-market emphasizes regional expertise in the West Brabant corridor with an emphasis on intermodal transport for CO2 reduction.
