TransMission Hoorn BV

What TransMission Hoorn BV does

TransMission Hoorn BV operates as the largest cooperative network (samenwerkingsverband) of independent transport and distribution companies in the Benelux, rather than as a traditional parent-subsidiary corporate structure. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Oosterblokker, North Holland (registered at Veilingweg 1, 1695 GC Blokker), the network comprises 18 member locations across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, with approximately 1,200 employees — many drawn from family businesses — operating a fleet of 500 trucks and processing roughly 20,000 shipments per day.

The company offers a full-spectrum B2B logistics portfolio: 24-hour parcel and piece goods distribution, pallet transport from single pallets to full loads, express deliveries with guaranteed time windows, return and cross-docking logistics, ADR-certified dangerous goods transport, and the premium TransMission Hoorn Plus on-location service. Storage and warehousing spans 40,000 m² of transshipment space and 70,000 m² of dedicated warehouse space, with value-added services including inventory management, order picking, and return processing. All member locations operate under a shared IT system governed by the TransMission Service Formula, which enforces uniform service-level agreements and quality standards; customers interact via a web portal (api.trans-mission.nl) offering Track & Trace and delivery appointment scheduling.

Commercially, TransMission runs an enterprise B2B direct-sales model targeting small, medium, and large organizations across healthcare, retail, and consumer-facing segments. Pricing is customer-specific, based on each client's individual shipping patterns in the Benelux, with annual tariff evaluations and monthly invoicing; a diesel surcharge index and administration fees apply. The customer base is reached primarily through direct customer service, the company website, and referrals — with no public revenue, funding, ownership, or management disclosures available, and the legal entity TransMission Hoorn B.V. itself appears to function as the coordination and IT backbone for the wider independent-member network.
