What Versteijnen Logistics does

Versteijnen Logistics is a privately held, family-owned Dutch third-party logistics provider founded in 1946 and headquartered in Tilburg, Netherlands. The company operates across two jurisdictions — the Netherlands (six warehouses) and Hungary (facilities in Szombathely, Sárvár, and Székesfehérvár) — and employs more than 300 people across integrated warehousing, distribution, transport, and fulfillment service lines. Its core technology platform centers on an AutoStore automated storage and retrieval system (40,000 bins, 35-38 robots, 133 picks per hour per workstation) deployed at the Tilburg campus, supplemented by real-time transport traceability software and a customer-facing portal for shipment visibility.

The company operates a B2B sales-led go-to-market model targeting enterprise and mid-market customers through direct field sales and a dedicated customer excellence team. Verticals served include chemicals (BRZO/PGS 15-certified hazardous goods storage), consumer electronics (secure climate-controlled warehousing), medical equipment (long-standing Philips partnership dating to the 1970s), solar panels, retail, wholesale, insulation, apparel, workwear, and tree nursery. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are structured as custom multi-year arrangements quoted on volume, frequency, and service-scope basis.

Revenue is generated across four streams: managed warehousing and distribution, transactional transport and forwarding (FTL/LTL across Germany, France, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Hungary), transactional fulfillment (order picking, same-day B2B/B2C shipping), and value-added services (assembly, labeling, quality inspection, temperature-controlled storage). Notable customer relationships include Philips Medical (40+ years), Thermaflex (40+ years), Santino/Vespo (30 years), Magna Tyres, BKU, Tricorp, and Insulation Solutions. The company holds BRZO certification for hazardous goods, ISO 14001 environmental certification, and a Lean & Green Star for CO2 reduction. Third-generation family member Jorn Versteijnen assumed leadership around 2021.
