CyberFreight

What CyberFreight does

CyberFreight — now operating as CFI Logistics following a May 2025 rebrand — is a Dutch international freight forwarder founded in November 1999 by Jacques van den Berg and headquartered in Nieuw-Vennep adjacent to Schiphol Airport, with a second operations office in Barendrecht at the Port of Rotterdam. The company provides air freight, sea freight, warehousing and distribution, customs and VAT services, cross-trade shipping, and project freight to B2B clients, with a defined specialty in temperature-controlled pharmaceutical logistics delivered through its CTC Pharma product line.

The company's operational technology is concentrated in three layers: (1) Track & Trace for real-time shipment visibility across multimodal legs; (2) e-stock, a proprietary warehouse management system supporting its distribution services; and (3) the CTC Pharma cold-chain protocol, which combines validated temperature-controlled handling with GDP, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, AEO, and IATA CEIV certifications to serve pharmaceutical and medical-device manufacturers. Execution is delivered through a 62-country partner network that extends the company's reach beyond owned infrastructure, enabling door-to-door international service without overseas branch investment. Approximately 90 employees support these operations as of 2025.

The business model is a transaction-fee forwarder: revenue is generated per shipment (quote-based pricing) across modes, supplemented by warehousing storage and handling fees, customs brokerage, and value-added pharma services. The go-to-market is enterprise B2B, primarily targeting pharmaceutical manufacturers, healthcare providers, and industrial shippers; named customer references include Omring (healthcare), FrieslandCampina, Perfetti Van Melle, Svitzer, and Van Heek Textiel. The company remains family-owned, with no external investors disclosed, and has indicated an operational affiliation with Japan's LOGISTEED group based on shared branding and key-personnel email domains.
