Burg Service

What Burg Service does

Burg Service B.V. is a Dutch industrial services and manufacturing company operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIMC Enric, the world's largest tank container manufacturer. From its two locations — Moerdijk (5,500 m² headquarters and tank container depot) and Barneveld (HOBUR manufacturing facility) — the company provides maintenance, inspection, repair, modification, and new construction services for tank trailers, tank containers, and specialized milk/manure (RMO) trailers. Burg Service acts as the exclusive European service and depot entity for CIMC Enric, managing the full inbound logistics chain for newbuild tank containers from Rotterdam and Antwerp ports through to customer delivery, and also sells new and used tank containers under its own and OEM brands.

The company's product portfolio centers on the proprietary HOBUR brand of chassis-less milk and manure trailers, which feature cable-rod or rod steering systems, an optional energy-axle (Valx generator) combined with solar panels for PTO-independent electric pump operation, and a compact "Shorty" variant for tight farmyard and ferry use. Burg Service also engineers electrical and glycol heating units, MID-certified AdBlue/Urea delivery units, and DME weighing systems, and operates as an RDW-recognized inspection station for APK, ADR/VLG, and hydro-pneumatic tank testing. Customer segments span intermodal transport operators, dairy farmers, and agricultural businesses across the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, agricultural, and automotive industries in the Netherlands and broader Europe.

The business model is sales-led and project-based with quote-driven pricing, combining professional services revenue (maintenance, inspection, cleaning, fleet management contracts), hardware sales (HOBUR newbuild trailers, new and used CIMC tank containers, spare parts), and managed services for fleet operators. GTM motion is enterprise field sales with named account managers and an inside sales team accessible via phone and web forms, supplemented by an e-shopping portal for registered parts customers. The company emphasizes long-term relationship-driven client retention, with a roster of repeat Dutch and Benelux transport operators and dairy hauliers.
