Van de Lagemaat Transport

What Van de Lagemaat Transport does

Van de Lagemaat Transport B.V. is a Dutch specialized road transport and crane services operator headquartered in Everdingen, Utrecht. Founded in 1936 and owned since 2008 by Victor Bishaie, the company serves construction, infrastructure, and industrial customers across the Netherlands from a single centrally located depot adjacent to the national highway network. Core services encompass construction transport, infrastructure transport, special/oversized transport, mobile crane operations, glass installation, dangerous goods (ADR) transport, and storage and transshipment on a 10,000+ m² outdoor terrain.

The operating model is asset-intensive and vertically integrated: services are delivered with a company-owned fleet of Volvo FH trucks equipped with Fassi cranes (up to 82 t/m and 34m reach), Palfinger cranes, glass suction devices, ADR-certified vehicles, and a diverse trailer set (open, closed, semi, extendable up to 36m/50 tons, and city trailers). Recent 2024 capex has materially extended capability, adding heavy lifting, glass installation, ADR transport, and a distribution services line. The company is professionally certified under AVC, CMR, PD-VW2000, and ADR standards, and operates a Euro 6-compliant fleet with nearly 700 rooftop solar panels delivering full electricity self-sufficiency.

Revenue is generated transactionally through bespoke project-based quotes for transport, crane rental with operator, glass placement, and storage/transshipment services. Go-to-market is direct-to-enterprise, relying on phone/email/contact-form engagement, customer logo credibility (BAM, Ballast Nedam, Heijmans, Tata Steel, Strukton and others), and content marketing through customer cases and news posts. Customer concentration sits within Dutch construction majors, with exposure to project-driven cyclicality despite a broad visible logo base.
