Our people keep moving

Literally and figuratively

We are a family business. For five generations. You can tell by the mentality: tackle it, think with us and be there when we have to be. Also want to be on the road or work behind the scenes?

Bart,

Transportation planner at Claassen

"The best part is when customers call us with something that is really a challenge and then we pull out all the stops to get it done. That speaks for Claassen."

This is how we work:

We combine experience with modern tools. No cumbersome systems, but smart digital solutions that make things easy for you. You ask, we drive.

Social responsibility in our logistics

Moving sustainably
We invest in trucks with fuel-efficient Euro 6 engines. For transport between Tilburg and Meppel, we use standard LHVs - extra-long trucks that carry more per trip. Result: more than 30% less CO₂ emissions on this route. Claassen also has CO2 reports that include this.

Economically built
Our headquarters is designed sustainably, using materials with a green statement. Energy consumption is extremely low and we apply new techniques every day. Waste is separated at our locations and given a second life.

Smart Driving
Our drivers are trained in the New Driving Style. This saves substantially on fuel and reduces emissions.

Everyone counts
We actively work with people who are distanced from the labor market. Claassen is a recognized training company and cooperates with vocational education. Our management also contributes to regional initiatives of the logistics sector.

Lean & Green
Claassen Logistics has achieved its third Lean & Green star in 2025. This recognition shows that we are serious about making our logistics more sustainable. With smart planning software, cleaner vehicles and a sharp focus on CO₂ reduction, we ensure an environmentally conscious chain.
