Aarts Beheer

What Aarts Beheer does

Aarts Transport is a Dutch family-owned B2B transport and logistics company headquartered in Son en Breugel, Netherlands, operating for over a century (established circa 1920) under Director Herman Steenhuis. The company runs a fleet of 50+ truck combinations across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, serving enterprise customers in e-commerce, wholesale, manufacturing, food ingredients, and logistics — including preferred-supplier relationships with Galvano, GXO, and Aalberts, and named customers such as PostNL, MediaMarkt, and Darling Ingredients. Headcount is stated at 125+ employees on the company's own site, although firmographic data lists 11–50 — a discrepancy noted as a data-quality issue.

The service portfolio is built around three core transport lines — Aarts@Home (regional e-commerce and furniture home delivery in Brabant and Limburg), Dag Transport (scheduled daytime delivery with fixed time slots), and Nacht Transport (overnight nationwide distribution) — supplemented by warehousing, storage, and transshipment services running on a customizable Warehouse Management System (WMS), and dispatching/HUB services that act as an extension of client operations. Express and same-day delivery is operated through the wholly-owned subsidiary Pure Transport BV, while core technology is operationally oriented (WMS, fleet, scheduling) rather than AI-led. Certifications include the mandatory NIWO license and PayChecked in Transport wage-compliance certification.

Revenue is generated through transaction-fee transport contracts and managed-services warehousing/storage arrangements, priced on a quote basis for B2B customers. The company holds no external institutional investors, pursuing growth organically (hiring, fleet expansion, multi-country operations) and via acquisitions of smaller carriers.

Broad incumbents

• DB Schenker: Major European land-transport, air-freight, ocean-freight, and contract-logistics provider with significant Benelux road-freight capacity. Competes with Aarts for medium-to-large enterprise road-freight contracts in the same three-country geography.
• PostNL: Dutch national postal and parcel operator with substantial business-to-business and e-commerce parcel capabilities in the same Brabant-adjacent geography Aarts serves. Comparable as both a customer logo and a potential competitor for last-mile and palletized distribution work.
• DSV: Danish-headquartered global transport and logistics group with deep Benelux road-freight and solutions operations. Comparable to Aarts across road freight and warehousing, but at vastly greater scale and with corporate rather than family ownership.
• Dachser: German family-owned global logistics provider with European road freight and contract logistics operations across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. Closely comparable to Aarts in family-ownership ethos, multi-country Benelux+DE coverage, and road-freight specialization.
• XPO Logistics: Global less-than-truckload and logistics provider with European operations serving retail, industrial, and e-commerce shippers. Comparable to Aarts on palletized distribution and e-commerce fulfillment, but operates at much larger scale.
• GXO Logistics: Global contract logistics provider with significant Benelux operations including warehousing and dedicated transport. Overlaps with Aarts' warehousing and dedicated-transport services and is also a named Aarts customer, illustrating both partnership and competitive overlap.
• CEVA Logistics: Global supply-chain management company headquartered in France with European road, contract logistics, and finished-goods distribution. Overlaps with Aarts on warehousing and dedicated-transport services for industrial and retail customers in Benelux.

Direct peers

• Simon Loos: Large Dutch family-owned logistics company providing distribution, cold chain, and value-added transport across the Netherlands and Europe. Comparable to Aarts in Benelux regional density, multi-segment service mix, and family-business operating culture.
• Van der Spek: Dutch international transport company offering road freight, groupage, and logistics services in the Netherlands and Europe. Comparable to Aarts as a Dutch mid-market carrier with similar cross-border reach and B2B customer base.
• Jan de Rijk Logistics: Dutch family-owned transport and logistics provider offering road freight, distribution, and warehousing across Benelux and Europe. Highly comparable to Aarts as a regional Dutch mid-market carrier with multi-service offerings and similar customer profile.
