What Lensen does

Lensen BV is a privately held, family-owned road-transport and logistics service provider headquartered in Roeselare, Belgium. The company specializes in daily groupage services to the Netherlands and Germany, express transport across Western Europe, and full truckload (FTL) shipments, supplemented by specialized handling for fragile goods, machinery, furniture, length goods, exhibition materials, and parcels. Its service portfolio also includes customs clearance for Switzerland and the United Kingdom, milkrun collection routes, and 5,000 m² of warehousing with cross-docking and Value-Added Logistics (repacking, labeling, crating). Customers are primarily Flemish small and medium-sized enterprises, served through direct B2B sales with quote-based pricing tied to equipment type, cargo type, and destination postal codes.

The company operates a young fleet (average age 2.5 years) of Euro6 curtain-siders with tail lifts, large-volume combinations, and 2.5-ton mobile 4-way forklifts that enable self-loading at difficult-to-access sites. On-board computers integrated with a back-office system provide GPS Track & Trace and automatic customer notifications at order creation and delivery scheduling. Lensen positions itself on reliability, flexibility, and a self-claimed 100% CO2-neutral operating profile, backed by certifications including a Belgian transport license (201010571), ADR certification for dangerous goods, and a waste-transport permit covering Flanders, Wallonia, the Netherlands, Germany, and France.

Beyond core transport, Lensen has diversified into facility services at its new Onledebeek business park, offering parking, a workshop, offices for rent, coworking spaces, EV charging, a truck car wash, and an event venue for up to 100 people. Distribution is direct and single-channel through its own fleet and drivers, with a fixed partner used only for Scandinavian destinations. The company has no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding, operating as an independent family business under Lensen BV (BE 0563583559).
