Anette Kjær og Sønner

What Anette Kjær og Sønner does

Anette Kjær & Sønner is a privately held, family-owned Danish road-transport company headquartered at Grenaa Harbor (Nordhavnsvej 28, Grenaa), operating three service lines from a single fleet base: Walking Floor bulk transport (using Cargo Floor CF 500 SL-C bottom systems on Knapen 4-axle trailers for loose cargo such as wood, waste, grain, biomass, and recycling inputs), scheduled distribution (palletized and general cargo with planned day and night deliveries), and time-sensitive courier services operated under the Flemming Kjær Transport sub-brand. The fleet comprises approximately 25 owned vehicles plus 15 contracted external trucks, with around 40 vehicles operating daily, all Euro 6 compliant and GPS-tracked. Service coverage spans Denmark nationwide plus cross-border flows into Northern Germany and Southern Sweden.

The business model is transaction-based and quote-driven. Walking Floor work is priced per route or contract, distribution is billed by route and vehicle type, and courier services are billed by hourly rate or fixed kilometer price. The company also runs an external-trucker partnership program offering fuel-card discounts, insurance agreements, and D+10 settlement, monetizing asset-light capacity on its own trailers. Customer acquisition is sales-led through direct phone and email contacts (multiple dedicated lines per department), website inquiry forms, and local earned media, supported by an active Facebook/LinkedIn presence (@akstransport) and community engagement on Djursland. Go-to-market is concentrated in industrial verticals — recycling and waste, agriculture, shipbuilding, furniture manufacturing, and plastics — served primarily via repeat enterprise relationships rather than spot-market volume.

The owner-operating team consists of Anette Kjær (CEO, distribution and courier), Flemming Kjær (sales and HR), and Kenni Skjødt (Walking Floor), supported by a professional board established in 2024 as part of a gradual generational succession. The company has received four consecutive Børsens Gazelle awards (2022-2025) and the 2024 Business Djurslands Erhvervspris, and published its first ESG report in May 2025. Operational formalization is in progress through ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 implementation.
