NABEK

What NABEK does

NABEK Wegtransporten is a Dutch specialized road-transport and logistics company founded in 1937 by Jan Verschure in Rotterdam as a freight broker (bevrachter) and wholly owned subsidiary of PAX Groep since 1999. The company operates from two anchor hubs — Alphen aan den Rijn (HQ) and Hoogezand (NABEK Noord) — plus a third value-added facility in Heerenveen (CASTLE). Its service portfolio spans kooiaap transport (a fleet of 50+ trucks equipped with mounted meeneemheftruck forklifts enabling self-loading/unloading at construction sites and urban locations in under one minute), construction transport, exceptional (oversized) transport via mega trailers, low-loaders and tank-bed trailers, autolaadkraan mobile-crane transport (60-80 tons/meter), flexible warehousing (indoor/outdoor, short and long-term), value-added logistics (crossdocking, consolidation, relabeling, repackaging, lashing, industrial and seaworthy packaging, container handling), and an in-house customs department covering import, export, and transit across road/air/rail/sea modes. In 2026 the company expects ~265 million kg transported to ~40,250 delivery addresses across the Benelux and a large portion of Germany, with international reach brokered through a partner network. Customers are B2B in three primary verticals — Construction (wood, plate, ceiling panels, air-duct trailers to sites), Industrial (machinery, equipment, sensitive or oversized goods, full multi-disciplinary logistics), and Agriculture (tautliner transport) — served via a sales-led model with quote-based, transaction-fee pricing orchestrated by named service-line managers (Transport, Commercial, Kooiaap, Global Forwarding, Exceptioneel). Revenue is generated entirely through per-transaction fees across the four service streams (Transport, Warehousing, Value-Added Logistics, Customs), with no standard public pricing and no subscription, marketplace, or intermediated channel model.
