Hoza

What Hoza does

Hoza Logistic Solutions is a privately held Dutch manufacturer of metal roll containers, static load carriers, dollies, roll cages, and trolleys, founded in 1938 by the Van der Horst family and headquartered in Scheemda, Netherlands. The company operates a 24,000 m² automated production facility from which it develops and produces both standard products and custom-engineered load carriers, with in-house R&D capabilities including modern CAD tools and 3D printing for prototyping. Its core product portfolio spans the Flexo (5:1 nesting ratio), Multy, and Europack roll containers; stacking racks (stapelrekken) and tire racks; specialized flora containers for horticulture; and, via the 2022-acquired Eurobok b.v. subsidiary, CE-marked glass and kozijn bokken. Technology modules include electrically driven E-rolcontainers with RFID digitalization and a Track & Trace system supporting RFID, UHF RFID, and BLE for real-time supply-chain visibility.

Revenue is generated through five streams: hardware sales of standard and custom load carriers, rental of an extensive European fleet of metal load carriers (next-day delivery for peak periods), repair and maintenance services delivered from multiple European depots or on customer sites, purchasing and refurbishment of used load carriers, and managed asset management services coordinating maintenance, real-time monitoring, and supply-chain decarbonization. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via dedicated Area Sales Managers covering Benelux/France, Northern Germany/Baltics/Scandinavia, and the DACH region, complemented by quote-based online requests through the tri-language hoza.nl, hoza.com, and hoza.de websites. Customers span six verticals: logistics and warehousing, food retail, e-commerce and order picking, plant and horticulture, the glass and window industry, and post and parcel. Hoza holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and EcoVadis Gold certifications, and operates one patented innovation (the Body Spring Fold System) for ergonomic nesting.
