Transport Schrauwen

What Transport Schrauwen does

Transport Schrauwen is a family-owned Belgian logistics company headquartered in Essen (province of Antwerp). The company operates approximately 35 tractor-trailer combinations daily from a fleet of 60 own vehicles, supplemented by 15 own tautliner/semi-trailers, and employs roughly 100 permanent staff. Originally founded as a trading business dealing in coal and agricultural products, the company has over decades transitioned into a focused transport and storage provider. Its strategic position between the major European ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam is central to its value proposition, supporting both national and international container, tautliner, flatbed, and traction services.

The service portfolio covers transport and warehousing end to end: container transport across all sizes (20, 40, and 45 ft), tautliner/curtainsider transport for complete and distribution cargo, flatbed transport for non-containerizable goods, and traction services where the company provides trucks and drivers for client-owned trailers. It also operates an ADR-certified dangerous goods fleet, with vehicle and driver equipment checked every 3 months for compliance. On the storage side, the company maintains 2,500 m² of indoor storage with loading dock and 20,000 m² of outdoor storage, with the indoor facility licensed as a recognized customs bonded warehouse (erkend entrepot) for excise goods, including inventory management and customs administration. All vehicles are equipped with GPS, tracking, and navigation systems to support planning and customer communication; no AI, machine learning, API, or mobile application capabilities are disclosed.

Transport Schrauwen serves a horizontal mix of B2B customers including import/export businesses, freight forwarders, and companies requiring storage solutions, particularly excise goods. The go-to-market is direct B2B with no intermediaries, offering free customized quotes and 24/7 availability; pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no external investors, parent entity, or stock listing, and no funding rounds, M&A, or partnership activity are documented in the available source material.
