What Kooiker Logistiek does

Kooiker Logistiek B.V. is a Dutch, family-owned full-service logistics provider headquartered in Grou, Friesland, founded in 1918 and operating through five wholly-owned subsidiaries covering transport, warehousing, distribution, the Coevorden multimodal site, and Polish operations in Toruń. The company delivers integrated road, rail, and water transport alongside warehousing and distribution from eleven locations across the Netherlands and Poland, supported by an owned fleet of 170 tractor units and 200 trailers and 160,000 m² of certified warehousing capacity with 180,000 pallet locations.

The company's core technology stack centers on a Warehouse Management System with real-time inventory visibility, RF-barcode scanning for movement accuracy, and Power BI dashboards built by in-house Logistics Engineers; a customer portal at transport.kooikerlogistiek.nl exposes inventory and order data. Service offerings span national and international road transport (including ADR-certified dangerous goods, temperature-controlled, and oversized cargo), groupage (part-load), intermodal rail via the Coevorden hub — the only Dutch LSP directly on both Dutch and German rail networks — plus e-commerce fulfillment, dedicated transport in customer livery, and value-added services such as customs clearance, phytosanitary inspections, bulking (verbulken), and repackaging (verpakken) with quality-control systems (magnets, sieves, metal detection, weight control). The company holds ISO 9001:2015, BRC Storage & Distribution, GMP+, IFS Logistics, SQAS, SKAL Bio Controle, FSSC 22000, and AEO certifications, and achieved two Lean & Green stars in 2024 for independently verified CO₂ reduction.

Kooiker operates a B2B sales-led go-to-market with direct account management, custom-quoted contracts, and named enterprise anchors including Sligro (foodservice wholesale distribution) and PreZero (waste collection). Revenue streams are diversified across seven verticals — food & beverages, animal feed, agricultural, chemical, packaging, manufacturing, and e-commerce/retail — with the first four treated as primary. The business model combines dedicated-contract transport, groupage network economics, managed storage, and an emerging 4PL/Ketenregie offering plus Logistics Engineering services that target higher-margin supply-chain orchestration. Growth has been driven primarily through acquisitions (Brant Visser & Zonen in 2021, Graaco in 2023, Post Logistics announced for June 2026) and capability extensions into rail intermodal and analytics services.
