Steenbergen

What Steenbergen does

Steenbergen b.v. is a privately held, family-owned Dutch road-transport and contract-logistics company headquartered in Bodegraven, Netherlands, founded in 1907. It operates five strategically positioned depots across the Netherlands and Belgium (Bodegraven, Meppel, Venlo, Petit-Rechain, Wommelgem), a fleet of approximately 250 daily transport units, and more than 300 active employees, with its own fully certified in-house garage. The company's core offering is guaranteed 24-hour pickup-and-delivery distribution within the Benelux (collection before 20:00, next-day delivery 08:00-17:00), complemented by European distribution executed through a vetted partner network and warehousing/storage services that include ADR hazardous goods and a specialized tyre-hotel (Bandenhotel) for the automotive sector. Beyond asset-heavy operations, Steenbergen runs a digital layer centered on a Transport Management System (TMS, implemented with Art Systems in 2013), cloud-based work environment, EDI integrations with customers, on-board computers with real-time tracking via Data2Track, and the StbOnline customer portal for shipment entry, track & trace, digital proof of delivery, and live inventory management. The business model combines transaction-based fees for freight and ADR transport with subscription/recurring revenue from warehousing, sells exclusively through a direct B2B motion with quote-based pricing (no public rate cards), and serves primary segments in the automotive industry (parts and tyre logistics) and general logistics/shippers (pallet and piece goods), with secondary European cross-border demand. Recent strategic emphasis has been placed on sustainability (Volvo FL Electric pilot in 2021, Mercedes-Benz Actros mirrorcam in 2023), infrastructure renewal (Venlo gas-free facility in May 2023), and workforce development (Beste Leerbedrijf Transport en Logistiek 2023).
