Lesscher Transport

What Lesscher Transport does

Lesscher Transport B.V. is a privately held Dutch road haulage and logistics provider founded in 1967 and headquartered in Saasveld, Netherlands, employing approximately 20 people. The company specializes in the transport of waste streams — including hazardous and chemical waste — both within the Netherlands and internationally to Belgium, Germany, and Denmark. It holds the NIWO vergunning, the NIWO VIHB registration for waste transport, and ADR certification for dangerous goods, and is a member of TLN (Transport en Logistiek Nederland). Long-term partnerships with fixed clients form the core of its revenue base, with services delivered through direct B2B sales and short-line planning coordination.

The underlying technology is a modern, diversified fleet rather than a software platform. Capabilities span walkingfloors (92 m³ reinforced, top/rear opening), aluminum and steel kippers (70 m³), kooiaap (mounted forklift) units that load independently of local equipment in under one minute, sluiskippers combining walkingfloor and silo-blowing functionality for the animal feed industry, megatrailers (~3 m interior height), box and curtain-side trailers, container combinations with hook-arm systems, and trailers with tail lifts. A covered temporary storage facility at the Saasveld site provides an add-on warehousing option. Together, this fleet enables single-vendor fulfillment across waste, industrial bulk, agricultural, construction, and oversized-load use cases.

The revenue model is transaction-based B2B freight transport priced per quote, with no publicly disclosed rates and no software/API surface. Go-to-market is sales-led, leveraging 50+ years of brand reputation, regulated credentials (NIWO/VIHB/ADR), and direct planning-department relationships rather than digital channels. End customers span waste management companies (primary), industrial and agricultural sectors, construction and infrastructure, and the animal feed industry. The company operates as an independent B.V. with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or external funding rounds.
