Rich experience in
the transportation industry.

From turnpike service to transport group

The origins of the transport company lie in the turntable service in the early 1940s in Boskoop. In response to a hefty demand for supplies of raw materials to the metal industry in Drunen, the transport company ended up in Waalwijk in the mid-1960s.

Rising market demand for transport of long goods and temporary storage

From the metal industry in the late 1970s, the company was asked to also start transporting to the hinterland in the Netherlands and Belgium. The focus of the family business was already almost entirely on transport for the metal industry. The workforce grew steadily, especially in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the demand for transporting lengths of copper, aluminum and brass to Germany. With the increase in demand for transport for these length goods, the demand for space for temporary storage in Waalwijk grew. In the following years, other transport flows were added.

Container terminal also allows waterborne transportation

Because the company was located at the port and the demand for more economical and at the same time more sustainable ways of transport increased, container terminal ROC Waalwijk was realized in 2000. From this terminal it also became possible to transport sea containers from overseas by barge from the seaports of Rotterdam and Antwerp to Waalwijk and the hinterland.

Total logistics package

Now the third generation is at the helm of this family business. The current management is formed by Sander, John and Nicola. They ensure that everything runs like clockwork at the four business units Van der Linden Transport, Furniture Logistics Waalwijk B.V. (FLOW), Van der Linden Express and the Regional Transshipment Center Waalwijk, ROC Waalwijk for short. These sister companies work closely together, so that the Van der Linden Group as a whole can offer you a total package in the field of logistics.

Dedicated transportation, transshipment and distribution solutions

The Van der Linden Group focuses mainly on the Benelux and Germany and develops dedicated transport, transshipment and distribution solutions for companies and fellow transporters based in this region.

Family logistics company with firm core values

...the customer is always the focus, from the moment they are contacted, until the service is delivered and even after that. Every transportation request is important, whether it's that one pallet that needs to be shipped urgently or containers that need to get to or from a seaport.

...clear calculations, clarity in what can and cannot be done, realistic delivery times, of course with all parts of the Van der Linden Group!

...Just do what you promised!

...always revisiting whether an option is the most cost-effective for the client, adjusting where necessary.

...A company only runs well if it can rely on well-trained, committed employees with future prospects within its own company. In addition, it must have an eye for the future by putting sustainability at the forefront of its operations and doing its part to contribute to an increasingly green transport sector.

Together, the sister companies provide a total logistics package
