Sande Logistics

What Sande Logistics does

Sande Logistics B.V. is a privately held Dutch road transport and logistics company founded in 1997 by Roel van de Sande and headquartered in Middelbeers, Netherlands. The company specializes in part-load (stukgoed) and full-load (blokvrachten) road transport across the Netherlands, the wider Benelux, France, Germany, and Italy, with a distinctive fixed-line service to Corsica — claimed as the only such offering among Benelux carriers. Its core operational focus is fragile and specialized cargo requiring extra handling care, supported by a fleet of sliding-tarpaulin trailers compliant with the EN12642xl safety standard, thick-walled closed trailers for condensation-free transport, flatbed and semi-low loaders for special situations, and a mobile forklift for on-site unloading.

The company's product offering spans four integrated lines: road transport (including the Corsica fixed service), warehousing (a state-of-the-art 4,000m² facility with 24/7 security in Middelbeers plus 1,500m² of dry heated storage for loading/overslag), roadshow logistics for traveling events and exhibitions, and Just-in-Time delivery solutions. All services are delivered through a single point of contact, with the company also handling freight documents and permits on behalf of clients. A Mendix-based customer portal (Sande.mendixcloud.com) supports existing client account management.

The business model is transaction-fee and professional-services based, with quote-based per-shipment pricing for individual transport jobs and multi-year contract pricing for recurring clients. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company employs 11-50 people, serves an enterprise customer base that includes Vencomatic Group, Heras, Brandbox, Wolkat, Broeckx, Butchers, Expandable, and Fista across at least eight verticals, and is independently owned with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-customer, relying on website quote requests, phone, and email rather than digital marketing or channel partnerships.
