What Distrilog Group does

Distrilog Group is a privately held, family-owned Belgian integrated logistics provider headquartered in Willebroek (Breendonk), founded in 1991. The company operates 21 depots across 14 Belgian locations, totaling 435,000 m² of warehouse space (including 169,000 m² food-grade, 68,000 m² ADR-certified, and 272,000 m² multi-client), supported by a fleet of 372 vehicles and 605 trailers (including 41 LNG tractors, 64 refrigerated box trucks, 99 refrigerated trailers, and 4 electric trucks). Through the DHB partnership network — five family-owned operators in the Netherlands and Luxembourg — Distrilog extends coverage across the Benelux with guaranteed 24-hour delivery. Reported revenue for FY2025 is €228 million, with 1,993 employees (1,540 full-time plus 453 temps).

The service portfolio spans warehousing (multi-temperature zones from -22°C to ambient), distribution (full truckload, part load, consolidated Benelux distribution), international forwarding (AEO-certified customs and excise), value-added services (co-packing, labelling, display building), and — following the July 2025 acquisition of Transport Michiels — oversized and crane transport. Core technology stack combines CALwmsWeb warehouse management, EDI integration with customer ERP systems (including SAP), GPS/track-and-trace, Pick To Light and Voice Picking systems for e-commerce fulfillment, a customer-facing WOEI web portal, the Streamliner cloud platform, and 20 automated guided vehicles (RAEs/SAEs) at Breendonk executing up to 3,000 movements daily with lights-out capability.

Distrilog serves enterprise customers across seven verticals: Retail (Spar, Delhaize, ALDI), FMCG (Nestlé, Castrol), DIY (Betonfabriek Coeck, Hilaire Van der Haeghe), Food (Arvesta/Aveve), Petcare, Chemicals (ADR-certified hazardous goods), and Industry (Total Refinery Antwerp on-site depot, Atlas Copco). Revenue is generated through managed-services warehousing contracts, transaction-fee distribution and forwarding, and professional-services value-added work, with pricing structured as custom B2B quotes rather than published rates. The company emphasizes sustainability leadership (ISO 14083.2023 GHG verification, HVO renewable diesel, Bio-LNG, electric trucks, BREEAM-certified buildings) and operates a family-business positioning centered on long-term partnerships.
