Wezenberg Groep

What Wezenberg Groep does

Wezenberg Groep is a four-generation, family-owned Dutch logistics group headquartered in IJsselmuiden (Spoorstraat 26), operating since 1945 across three integrated business units: Wezenberg Transport (refrigerated and bulk transport of fresh produce, store distribution, and multimodal transport), Agrarisch Logistiek Centrum (ALC) IJsselmuiden (storage, cross-docking, and handling of conditioned and dry goods with 35,000 pallet spaces and Ultra Low Oxygen long-term storage cells), and Wezenberg Trailers (sales, rental, and maintenance of new and used trailers and trucks). The core technology stack is asset-based: 130 trucks and 170 trailers with GPS Track & Trace, refrigerated trailers, walking floors, tippers, curtainsiders, container chassis, LHV combinations, and PIEK-certified silent trailers for urban nighttime delivery; supporting infrastructure includes an RDW-approved in-house workshop with APK, STEK, and LPK certifications and six dedicated mechanics.

The company serves primarily Dutch fresh-produce growers, agricultural cooperatives, and retail/grocery chains with daily temperature-controlled distribution, alongside international routes into Northern Germany. Revenue is generated through per-shipment transport contracts, recurring warehousing and cross-docking service fees, recurring trailer rental, one-time trailer sales, and professional maintenance/repair services. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: dedicated sales teams per business unit, phone-driven inbound, multilingual website (Dutch, English, German), and online trailer inventory with appointment scheduling. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held by the Wezenberg family with no external investors, no public ticker, and no disclosed funding history. Certifications (HACCP, GMP, Lean and Green, RDW, BOVAG) serve as primary market-access credentials in food and transport compliance.
