Twenty-five years ago, it began with a thought:
“I might be able to do this myself.”

What started as an idea at the kitchen table has grown into an organization where people work every day with passion and dedication.

The beginning

The origins of the company lie in a period of change. At the time, Jan was working at Gerlach, a company where there was unrest and where he no longer felt comfortable. That’s when the seed was planted: could I perhaps do this on my own? Together the idea was discussed, and with Bert Kok joining the conversation, the plan was further explored. Eventually, the company was founded together with hasenkamp. What began as a leap into the unknown became the foundation of a company that stands strong today.

A memory that endures

In 25 years, you don’t just build a company,  you also build memories. One moment that truly stands out is the 10-year anniversary celebration. With more than a hundred guests, a large part of Palazzo was rented for the occasion. The image of that tent, the atmosphere, and the many happy clients remains vivid to this day. It was a reminder that the company is more than just work, it is about connection.

Growth through involvement

What made this growth possible? The answer is surprisingly simple: a sense of family. The ability to act quickly, short lines of communication in management, and people who truly understand the processes inside and out. No complicated layers, just direct involvement.

Culture: rolling up our sleeves together

The company culture can best be described as open and approachable. Everyone knows: we have to do this together. This mindset creates trust, both internally and externally.

What clients value

Clients often describe the collaboration in three words: Fast. Reliable. No-nonsense.
No complicated stories, just clarity, quick responses, and commitments that are kept.

An important milestone

A major step in the company’s development was the purchase of the building on Bijlmermeerstraat in 2011. This was not only a practical expansion but also a symbolic moment: their own place, a solid foundation for the future.

Looking ahead

Ten years from now, the future looks ambitious yet familiar: still based on Bijlmermeerstraat, possibly with a second location added. The day-to-day leadership may change, but the company’s position as a major player in the art transport market will remain.

Moments of pride

Perhaps the most special moments are when people visit for the first time. Their surprise is often great – some expect a small van with two brothers, but instead find a professional organization. That contrast remains remarkable and continues to inspire a sense of pride.

25 years later, there is more than just a company.
There is an organization built on trust, collaboration, and dedication.
And that is something we are proud to celebrate together with our clients and our employees.
