What IMPECO LTD does

Impeco B.V., operating as IMPECO LTD, is a privately held Dutch logistics company founded in 2007 and headquartered at Ratio 24, 6921 RW Duiven, The Netherlands. The company provides complex, project-based international transport and logistics services across six specialized divisions: Sport & Event (MotoGP, Olympic Games, UEFA Champions League), Fairs & Exhibitions (CES, Hannover Messe, OTC Houston, Monaco Yacht Show, METS Amsterdam), Entertainment Logistics (DJ tours and festival productions), Broadcast Logistics (radio and television events), Express Road Freight (UK deliveries via 24-hour and 48-hour groupage), and Couriers (24/7 European document, valuable shipment, and ADR-certified dangerous goods transport up to 25,000 kg).

The company's underlying technology consists of a logistics management and coordination platform supported by GPS tracking systems on all courier vehicles, Category 3 alarm systems across the owned fleet, and real-time track-and-trace pages with customer login codes. These features provide shipment visibility across Europe but are standard logistics tools rather than differentiated technology. Impeco coordinates multi-modal transport (road, sea, air) through a worldwide network of specialized local agents that provide on-site support, customs clearance, and freight coordination at destinations.

Impeco operates on a quote-based, project-driven revenue model across all six service divisions, with revenue streams classified as professional services and transaction fees depending on the division. Go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales with dedicated direct sales channels per division, supplemented by digital marketing (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube) and active participation in trade fair industry events. Pricing varies by shipment characteristics, destination, urgency, and special requirements such as ADR transport or time-critical delivery. The company holds no disclosed parent company, external investors, or funding rounds.
