Our story

We understand what it means to start small while having big ambitions and what it takes to meet your customers' high expectations. We also know well what fashion and lifestyle logistics are about and we are ready to help your business grow even further.


Delivering on your promises since 1862

Once started as a local Dutch and Belgium logistics provider for companies in the fashion industry, we have grown into an international logistics company serving many renowned brands across various consumer goods industries.

We leverage our experience and knowledge built over many years, passed from team members to team members, and expanded our activities ever since. Despite our growth and substantially larger business size, we have always kept our spirit of an agile entrepreneur, drive to excel, passion for logistics and culture of putting people first ... since 1862.
