With a proud glance at the past...

Meers Transport has come a long way since its inception. Not just literally, but also figuratively. From a one-man business with its first truck to the thriving transport company and logistics facilitator with an extensive array of logistics services we have today. We can offer a suitable solution for any logistics challenge our customers entrust us with.

… ready for tomorrow’s logistics!

The world of transport and logistics is forever on the move. Everything has to be faster, more punctual, and more sustainable. It is a complex task that we commit ongoing investment to – in our staff, our fleet, and our infrastructure. We are constantly on the lookout for innovative and sustainable solutions in transport and logistics so we can be ready today for tomorrow’s logistics, in partnership with our customers.

One large transport family

The Meers Transport group of companies grew steadily with the various acquisitions and now includes Crijns, Kusters, MITL and Wessem in addition to the parent company. In all, this represents an impressive collection of expertise, experience and vision in many areas of transport and logistics. The vision is to achieve healthy business growth through intensive collaboration with partners and with the help of continuous innovation.

Crijns

Gebroeders Crijns (Crijns Brothers) have been transporting minerals, construction materials, general and ADR goods for more than 45 years. Marc and Peter Crijns are the third generation at the helm. The family character is essential to Gebroeders Crijns. The acquisition by Groep Meers helped safeguard the continuity and future of the company. Meers Transport guides them at management level, as a strong partner behind the scenes.

Kusters

Kusters Transport was founded in 1963 and initially focused on bulk goods (gravel and sand). But the company jumped straight on the bandwagon of fiercely developing container transport in the 1970s and became the specialist in sea containers. For example, they can transload and stock the sea containers with their in-house stacker, and they also have five trucks and some 40 permanent charters. In addition, the acquisition of Kusters Transport in 2020 increased the capacity of the Groep Meers by 7.5 hectares. The Kusters Transport management, brothers Patrick and Ivo Kusters, will be on board for at least three years to safeguard continuity.

MITL

In order to keep being able to guarantee the quality of its services, Groep Meers cast their eyes across the borders once again in 2008. An additional branch was established in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg: MITL: Meers International Transport Luxemburg. This location is mainly responsible for bulk transport to the south of France.

Wessem

Wessem Wegtransport has been part of Groep Meers since 2004. It has excellent chartering contacts with shipping companies and shipping agencies in the ARAG sea ports. What’s more, it can also handle the complete handling of global export and import of bulk goods and containers.
