Graansloot Kampen

What Graansloot Kampen does

Graansloot Kampen B.V. is a Netherlands-based, family-owned independent logistics service provider operating one of the largest inland dry bulk terminals in Western Europe, located at the port of Kampen on navigable water. The company specialises in three integrated service lines: transshipment (Overslag) of dry bulk between road and water transport with current vessel capacity up to 5,000 tons, storage (Opslag) across a 260,000-ton complex of grain silos, dam wall silos, and conditioned/unconditioned flat warehouses, and processing (Bewerking) covering hammer milling, cleaning, drying at up to 240 tons per hour, custom mixing, bagging, and flaking. Its client base spans the agricultural sector, animal feed industry, food sector, and biogas/anaerobic digestion market, with growing exposure to breakbulk goods such as steel coils and a stated ambition to enter liquid raw materials.

The business operates on a transaction-fee revenue model under quote-based custom contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Clients are served through an enterprise direct sales motion with relationships established via the company website, phone, and email; clients arrange their own road and water transport. Graansloot holds a concurrent certification stack (GMP+, ISO 22000, Skal bio-certification, GMO Controlled, AEO customs warehouse status, ISPS port security, and a Dutch environmental permit enabling handling of waste/damaged batches for fermentation markets) that prequalifies the facility for feed- and food-grade customers and circular-economy feedstock flows. The site runs on more than 80% self-generated sustainable energy from on-site solar and a direct wind-turbine grid connection, and a 2026 initiative adds electric truck and battery charging plus fleet electrification.

The company was founded in 1980 as Zwetsloot Harderwijk, relocated to its current Kampen site that year, and was acquired by Bert and Conny Weever in 2009, who ended commodity trading to position the firm as an independent service provider. Their daughter Suzanne Weever became general director in 2023, formalising next-generation family leadership. Headcount is in the 11-50 band; no external institutional ownership, venture, or private equity investment is disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Vopak: Dutch global leader in independent bulk-liquid storage and terminal operations. Comparable as a Dutch-rooted, neutral independent terminal operator, though Vopak's specialization is liquid bulk and gas rather than dry bulk agricultural handling.
• Cargill: Global agribusiness giant with extensive origination, storage, processing, and trading operations across grains and oilseeds. Comparable because Cargill both competes for and is a major customer of inland terminal services like Graansloot's, and operates large dry-bulk handling assets in the same Northwest-European corridor.
• Louis Dreyfus Company: Global commodity merchant with substantial European dry-bulk handling and trading operations. Comparable as a major originator and storage operator active in the same Northwest-European agricultural supply chain.
• Archer Daniels Midland (ADM): Global agribusiness processor and trader with major European origination and storage operations. Comparable as a large-scale grain/feed/oilseed handler that both supplies and competes for throughput at independent inland terminals.
• Bunge Global: Global agribusiness/origination and processing company with significant grain and oilseed handling footprint in Europe and a Rotterdam office. Comparable as a major dry-bulk commodity handler that simultaneously uses and competes with independent inland terminals.

Direct peers

• Katoen Natie: Belgian-rooted, globally operating bulk terminal and logistics specialist with significant Benelux inland-port presence. Directly comparable as an independent third-party terminal operator offering storage, handling, and processing for industrial and food-feed customers.
• Euroports Holdings: European operator of inland and sea-port terminals handling dry bulk, breakbulk, and liquid cargoes across multiple countries. Comparable as a multi-site bulk terminal platform serving industrial and agricultural customers, with similar stevedoring, storage, and value-added processing services.
• Hoyer Global Logistics: Hamburg-based family-owned bulk logistics specialist operating tank terminals and transport services across Europe. Comparable as an independent, mid-sized European family-owned logistics operator focused on bulk handling at strategic port locations.
• C. Steinweg Group: Dutch-headquartered multimodal logistics operator handling bulk, breakbulk, project cargo and containerized freight through European terminals. Closely comparable business model: independent stevedoring, warehousing, and processing services for industrial and agricultural customers, with overlapping inland-port footprint.

Emerging players

• Cefetra Group: Dutch-headquartered agricultural commodity distributor (a Cargill subsidiary) supplying grains and oilseeds to European feed, food and biofuel customers. Comparable as a Northwest-European agricultural supply chain actor that overlaps with Graansloot's customer base and uses independent inland terminal capacity.
