Vlot Logistics Holding B.v.

What Vlot Logistics Holding B.v. does

Vlot Logistics Holding B.V. is a Dutch family-owned logistics company founded in 1896 in Sliedrecht, now in its third generation of Vlot family leadership (Rokus Vlot Jr., directeur-eigenaar). The company operates across three locations — Sliedrecht (headquarters), Schelluinen, and Rotterdam — providing specialized transport services (kitchen, furniture, construction, machine, crane truck, kooiaap, special transport, and moving) alongside ~20,000m2 of warehousing, container storage, pallet storage, climate-controlled art storage, crossdocking, and fulfillment. Anchor customers include IKEA (since 1979), Whirlpool, Stiho, Dura Vermeer, Instakeukens, and several Dutch furniture retailers, with the Mondial R. Vlot & Zn brand serving B2C moves through the Mondial Movers cooperation.

The underlying technology stack is centered on a partially electrified fleet — 14 of 60 trucks are electric today, including the world's first 100% electric 50-ton autoloading crane truck (2019) and the first Dutch electric LZV (2023) — supported by proprietary charging infrastructure: a 300kW DC charging plaza at Rotterdam Waalhaven (2025) with solar panels and battery storage, and a mobile 442kWh fast-charger co-developed with Alfen for on-site construction charging under the VERZET project. Operations are backed by a warehouse management system, a transport management system, ETA-Monitor integration for customer-facing delivery windows, and TCVT/VCA-certified operators.

The business model is B2B and B2C logistics on a quote-based, transactional pricing model. Revenue streams include transportation services (kitchen, furniture, construction, crane, machine, special, moving), warehousing and storage (treated as recurring engagements), value-added fulfillment (assembly, return flow, shipping preparation), and full-service delivery including assembly and packaging removal. GTM is direct sales-led with a dedicated sales team handling website and phone inquiries, supplemented by content marketing, industry event participation (e.g., Nationale-Nederlanden Trendrapport Duurzame Mobiliteit 2025), and the Hub010 city-logistics sub-brand which opens the charging plaza to partner transport companies.
