Pultrum Rijssen

What Pultrum Rijssen does

Pultrum Rijssen BV is a Dutch family-owned logistics services provider founded in 1963 and headquartered in Rijssen, Netherlands, employing approximately 150 people. The company operates across three primary service lines: road transport (national and international, with standard 24-hour delivery in the Netherlands and 48-hour within Europe), exceptional/oversized transport requiring permits and escort vehicles, and construction logistics covering storage, just-in-time delivery, on-site assembly, and waste removal. It also runs an international freight division (Pultrum International) handling air, sea, and rail transport with customs documentation, supported by a German subsidiary (Pultrum Logistik GmbH) based in Bad Bentheim.

The company's core asset base comprises a diversified fleet (closed tautliners, LZV combinations, low-loaders, inloaders, walking floors, and truck-mounted cranes up to 100 ton/meter) and 18,000 m² of combined heated indoor and outdoor storage. Underlying the operations is a Transport Management System (TMS) with a customer-facing online portal for order submission, document attachment, delivery photo upload, and invoice management, alongside smart automation for logistics processes. Supporting technology includes ISO 27001-certified IT infrastructure and CO2 advisory services built around LZV and LNG vehicle deployment.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-fee billing on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go model, with services contracted per transport job, per storage engagement, or as managed services. The go-to-market is sales-led B2B, supplemented by a self-serve website quote request and direct-to-consumer distribution for products like garden wood. The customer base is dominated by construction companies and building materials suppliers, with secondary verticals in agriculture, steel/manufacturing, and consumer goods distribution. Operational geographies are concentrated in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and France, with worldwide reach via the international freight division.

Regional players

• Wincanton: UK-based contract logistics and transport provider with strong construction and building materials vertical exposure in the UK and Ireland. Comparable mid-sized operator in adjacent geography with overlapping construction-logistics specialization.
• Vervaeren Group: Belgian transport and logistics company offering national and international road freight with warehousing. Comparable mid-sized operator covering Belgium — a primary Pultrum market — but primarily regionally anchored rather than in NL/DE.

Broad incumbents

• DSV: Global transport and logistics giant headquartered in Denmark with strong European road and air/sea freight plus solutions and warehousing divisions. Competes with Pultrum on international freight forwarding and contract logistics across the same European geographies.
• Dachser: German-headquartered global logistics provider with European road freight, air/sea freight, and contract warehousing. Operates at significantly larger scale but directly competes with Pultrum on Benelux-Germany road transport and contract logistics for construction-adjacent industries.
• Raben Group: Pan-European contract logistics and road transport group with warehousing, customs, and specialized freight across Benelux, Germany, and beyond. Larger and broader portfolio than Pultrum but competes in the same mid-market contract and warehousing space.
