Veldhuizen Transport

What Veldhuizen Transport does

Veldhuizen Transport (legal entity Werkhoven Veldhuizen Transport B.V.) is a privately held, family-owned road freight and logistics company headquartered in Werkhoven, Netherlands. Founded on 1 May 1988, it has operated continuously for over 35 years and currently runs a fleet of approximately 20 trucks with 25+ employees. The service portfolio spans national and international transport across Benelux and Germany with a 24-hour delivery promise, kooi-aap (truck-mounted forklift) transport for construction sites, temperature-controlled and urgent transport for food and perishables, volume-trailer transport for insulation and tall cargo, horticulture/tree-nursery logistics, and warehousing and cross-docking at the Werkhoven facility.

The company differentiates through a specialized vehicle mix rather than scale, and supports operations with standard transport technology: satellite-based real-time vehicle tracking, digital CMR (paperless delivery documentation processing roughly 25,000 documents per year), and Exact Online / Basecone for back-office accounting and invoice automation. It maintains its own maintenance workshop and runs a relatively modern fleet, with multiple truck additions in 2022 and 2023 (Volvo FH 460, DAF XF, DAF XG+ with Pacton low-decker trailer).

Commercially, Veldhuizen operates on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go transactional model. Customers request quotes via the company website or by phone/email and there is no publicly disclosed pricing structure or evidence of long-term contractual commitments. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying primarily on direct contact, word-of-mouth, and the company website rather than paid marketing; the firm also participates in industry events such as the Transport Compleet Beurs in Gorinchem. Customer segmentation is vertical-based — construction materials, horticulture, food/perishables, and insulation/volume cargo — with no named anchor accounts disclosed. Ownership remains entirely within the founding family (C. Veldhuizen as founder, Patricia Veldhuizen managing bookkeeping), with no external investors, subsidiaries, or public listing.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Simon Loos: Family-owned Dutch logistics company providing national and international road transport, warehousing, and distribution. Comparable in scale, ownership structure, and service portfolio to Veldhuizen.
• AB Texel Group: Dutch specialized transport group with strong position in temperature-controlled and food logistics, plus general freight. Relevant as a specialized-fleet peer overlapping with Veldhuizen's refrigerated segment.
• Vos Logistics: Dutch logistics provider offering road transport, distribution, and warehousing services across Benelux and Europe. Comparable mid-tier carrier with diversified service offering.
• Heisterkamp Transport: Dutch transport and logistics specialist with own fleet serving Benelux and Germany, including specialized and general freight. Directly comparable geographic reach and customer profile.
• De Graaf Logistics: Mid-sized Dutch road transport and logistics company with own fleet and warehousing facilities. Closely mirrors Veldhuizen's integrated transport-plus-warehousing model in the Benelux market.
• Jan de Rijk Logistics: Dutch transport and logistics provider offering road freight, warehousing, and specialized services across Benelux and Europe. Highly comparable mid-sized carrier with similar diversified customer base and own-fleet operating model.

Broad incumbents

• DHL Freight: Pan-European road freight arm of Deutsche Post DHL, dominant in Benelux and Germany. Represents the incumbent competitive ceiling that Veldhuizen either avoids (niche specialization) or loses against (enterprise contracts).
• DSV Road: Global transport and logistics giant with extensive Benelux road freight operations. Competes for the same shipper wallet but at enterprise scale; relevant as scale benchmark and competitive threat.
• Gebrüder Weiss: Major European land logistics provider with strong Benelux and Germany operations across road, air, and sea freight. Overlaps with Veldhuizen's Benelux-Germany lane but operates at much larger scale and broader portfolio.

Regional players

• Van der Spek Transport: Smaller Dutch specialized carrier focused on Benelux regional distribution and dedicated transport. Comparable service mix but smaller scale and more regional footprint than Veldhuizen.
