What Jan Krediet does

Jan Krediet is a Dutch full-service logistics provider founded in 1924 and headquartered in Steenwijk, Netherlands, with operational facilities in Venlo and Culemborg. The company specializes in furniture logistics — including B2B distribution, B2C white-glove delivery, assembly, and installation — alongside specialized kitchen logistics, general cargo transport, project logistics for large-scale installations, warehousing, contract logistics, high-tech logistics (including dust-free clean room server assembly), and e-fulfillment. Its enterprise customer base spans premium furniture, kitchen, bedding, seating, coworking, and interior design brands including HermanMiller, Vitra, Auping, Moooi, bulthaup, Poggenpohl, Nobilia, Siematic, WeWork, and BossDesign. The company was acquired by Logistics Plus in 2023 and continues to operate under the Jan Krediet brand within the parent's global logistics network.

Jan Krediet operates a substantial physical asset base: a fleet of 250+ specialized vehicles equipped with proprietary swap body systems, over 60,000 square meters of warehouse space, and approximately 200 logistics professionals. Global project execution is supported through founding membership in the MACH-3000 Alliance, a network of specialized furniture logistics partners enabling installations across 150+ locations worldwide. The technology layer includes the MyJanKrediet customer portal for real-time shipment tracking, an API for system integration, and route planning software supporting European distribution to 400+ brochure distributors.

The business model is B2B enterprise logistics services priced on a quote basis, with revenue generated across multiple service streams: furniture transport, kitchen transport, general cargo, project logistics, warehousing/contract logistics, high-tech logistics, and e-fulfillment. Customer concentration risk is moderate, with a diversified enterprise logo base but evidence of large-volume dedicated contracts (e.g., 2,000 office chairs distributed weekly for a major European office furniture customer). Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via specialized sales staff (Guido Mignon for furniture, Jack Pouls for general cargo, Rob Linssen for contract logistics), complemented by content marketing through a multi-language website and customer portal access.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Geodis: Global contract logistics and 3PL operator with warehousing, transport and supply-chain solutions across Europe. Comparable as a broad European 3PL with overlapping contract logistics, transport, and warehousing capabilities, but Geodis operates across all verticals rather than specializing in furniture.
• DSV: Global transport and logistics company (post-Schenker acquisition) with major European road, air, and sea freight operations and contract logistics. Comparable on European freight forwarding, contract logistics, and dedicated warehousing; operates at vastly larger scale with broader vertical exposure.
• Logistics Plus: Parent company of Jan Krediet since 2023; US-based global logistics provider offering freight forwarding, contract logistics, and project logistics. Comparable as the parent acquirer, with overlapping project logistics, warehousing and transportation capabilities that could either cannibalize or augment Jan Krediet's European business.
• CEVA Logistics: Global 3PL offering contract logistics, freight management and finished-vehicle logistics with significant European presence. Comparable as a multi-vertical European contract logistics and warehousing provider; less specialized in furniture but operates at adjacent scale and customer profile.
• Kuehne+Nagel: One of the world's largest freight forwarders and contract logistics providers, with extensive European warehousing and road logistics operations. Comparable on the contract logistics / dedicated warehousing axis but at much larger scale and broader vertical exposure.
• XPO Logistics: Major European less-than-truckload and last-mile heavy-goods carrier with significant white-glove / in-home delivery operations for furniture and appliances. Directly comparable on the heavy/bulky last-mile and big-and-bulky contract logistics axis, but operates at a vastly larger scale across many verticals.

Direct peers

• DACHSER: German-headquartered global logistics provider with strong European road transport and contract logistics network. Highly comparable on European B2B distribution and contract logistics for industrial and consumer goods customers, with similar family-owned heritage and operational culture.
• Raben Group: European contract logistics and road transport provider with operations across Germany, Netherlands, Poland, and other EU markets. Directly comparable on B2B contract logistics, warehousing, and dedicated transport in Northwestern Europe, with similar mid-market enterprise customer profile.
• Mainfreight: New Zealand-headquartered global 3PL with strong European operations offering freight forwarding, contract logistics, and warehousing. Comparable in operating model (asset-based, multi-vertical contract logistics) and customer mix (mid-to-large enterprise B2B), with similar mix of warehousing and dedicated transport services.

Regional players

• Imperial Logistics: African-headquartered global logistics provider with European contract logistics operations in consumer goods, chemicals, and finished-vehicle distribution. Comparable on contract logistics and specialized B2B distribution operating model, though primarily focused on the African and European markets rather than global furniture specialists.
