Mikropakket Nederland

What Mikropakket Nederland does

Mikropakket Nederland is a B2B logistics provider specializing in secure transport of valuable, confidential, and sensitive shipments across the Benelux. Founded in 1983 to serve jewelers during a postal strike, the company has positioned itself as the Benelux market leader in jewelry and watch transport while expanding into adjacent verticals including telecom and ICT, pharmaceuticals, dangerous goods (ADR lithium-ion), valuable documents, equipment and instruments, and digital data carriers. Since 2009 it has operated as a self-standing subsidiary of PostNL within the parent's Health & Secure domain, retaining its own closed network, licenses, and quality certifications.

The company's operating model is built around a single TAPA A-certified hub in Nieuwegein, Netherlands, with a regional office in Vilvoorde, Belgium. Its technology stack includes GPS tracking to address level, barcode scanning, a proprietary gentle-handling sorting machine, the Routigo track-and-trace system, an A-curo web portal, a standalone KILO label application with file-watcher ERP integration, and a REST API for automated label generation. Certifications include TAPA FSR A, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, GDP (pharmaceutical), and ADR (dangerous goods). The 99.9990% delivery ratio and 0.008% missing shipment rate are the headline operational metrics.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based fees for secure shipping, with quote-based pricing customized per customer and a minimum volume requirement of 5 shipments per month. Additional revenue streams include elevated liability coverage up to EUR 10,000 per shipment, scheduled time-window pickups, and GDP-compliant pharmaceutical transport via PostNL Pharma & Care. The go-to-market is sales-led B2B, combining direct customer engagement, a self-service web portal, and API/ERP integration for enterprise accounts. The fleet is over 10% electric with a stated 65% zero-emission target by 2028, and the company operates a new BREEAM-certified facility opened in 2023.
