About us - Vreugdenhil Transport

For over 35 years, C. Vreugdenhil has specialized and succeeded in providing transport to and from France.

In 1988, our father, Cees Vreugdenhil, a passionate transport professional, started his mission from Poeldijk with the ambition and courage to become the best carrier to France. In 1997, we moved to the transport centre in Maasdijk, where we are still located. Centrally situated near the A20 and the port of Rotterdam, and close to many Westland vegetable growers. Here, he laid the solid foundation for a healthy company that his children have built upon. The result? A flourishing company with 55 trucks, 75 trailers, and a hundred enthusiastic employees who annually handle thousands of international transports for hundreds of satisfied customers. Despite years of growth, our constant focus on quality and service has remained unchanged. We strive to provide excellent solutions and timely delivery of predominantly fresh and delicate products. The third generation is already gearing up, with the grandchildren of founders Cees and Hennie growing up in the dynamics of our 24-hour family business. Transport is in their DNA, and alongside their studies, they regularly work at “the company.”

Quality

Ensuring your products reach the end user in perfect, fresh condition requires quality assurance before, during, and after transport. At C. Vreugdenhil International Transport, conditioned transport means continuous focus on the quality and food safety of your products. To guarantee this, we use advanced systems such as tracking & tracing and real-time temperature control.

IFS Certificate

All our activities and processes are based on the requirements of the IFS food safety system, the standard for French retailers. This comprehensive system combines HACCP, quality management, and various setup requirements. This approach enables us to ensure the food safety and freshness of your products at all times.

Air cargo employees and Air Cargo Security Manager

All our employees who come into contact with “secure” air cargo are certified as “Air Cargo Employees.” This training makes them aware of the potential risks and dangers associated with air cargo transport. The training is approved by the Ministry of Security and Justice. Our company also employs a qualified Air Cargo Security Manager who further trains our employees on the job in security awareness regarding air cargo.

Sustainability

As a family business, we are future-oriented and care for the next generations. We acknowledge the need for measures in the transport sector aimed at a cleaner environment and reducing climate impact. Our cold storage facilities are powered by 586 solar panels on the roof. Our modern and cleaner fleet is also a part of this, with solar panels on the trucks and increasingly on our trailers.

ECOSTARS

We are proud to participate in ECOSTARS, a European recognition scheme for sustainable carriers of goods and passengers in both national and international transport. Various European cities, including Rotterdam and Parma (Italy), are part of this program. Our ECOSTARS certificate is a confirmation of our commitment to sustainability within the transport sector.

Recognized training company

As a recognized training company, we contribute to future generations of enthusiastic employees in the transport and logistics sector. Each year, we participate in the internship market ‘Westland on Stage’ and maintain close ties with the STC in Rotterdam. We welcome several students annually, training them as drivers, planners, and warehouse employees. HBO students can also undertake an educational and challenging (graduation) internship in transport with us. Talented students are given the opportunity to start their careers with us and strengthen our team after their internship.
