Palletbedrijf van der Pol

Road freight

Specialists attract specialists

Strong companies make bold choices and know how to stand out in the marketplace. That is exactly where Trasegro and Palletbedrijf van der Pol find common ground.

The grandfather of Robert van der Pol, current Managing Director of Palletbedrijf van der Pol in Woensdrecht (NL), started repairing pallets for the country’s largest food retailer back in 1979. At the time this provided work during the low season of his core business: crop production, an industry he had already been active in for more than 20 years.

Today, that entrepreneurial spirit is deeply rooted in the DNA of the van der Pol family business. Their down-to-earth mentality, loyalty, specialist approach and ability to seize opportunities have helped establish the company as a leading player in the sector.

Smooth operator

Pallet and crate production is a commodity-driven volume business characterized by fierce competition and limited opportunities for differentiation. However, appearances can be deceiving when stepping into Pol Pallets immaculately organized production facility. This is far more than a standard pallet manufacturing operation.

Expertise, quality, production capacity and fair pricing, supported by a loyal team and fully automated production processes, enable the company to stand out in the market. From robust crates for potato and onion transport to fully lined, leakproof crates for premium-quality seeds, as well as high-quality timber pallets, products are shipped to North – America, Africa, Asia and Oceania all the way to Tasmania and throughout Europe to France, Switzerland, Germany and Denmark

Service is a verb

Trasegro is the preferred logistics partner for the demanding operations of Pol Pallets. With their own fleet of electricity powered trucks, they service their customers located within a shorter radius, Trasegro steps in for all other transports. Working closely together in taking responsibility for our planet and operating as sustainable as possible, avoiding empty trucks for example. Both companies are specialists in their field and highly service oriented. Trasegro provides worldwide transport solutions, managing fully compliant door-to-door deliveries, handling all necessary documentation and working with carefully selected partners to deliver the reliable and sustainable service Pol Pallets and its customers expect.

“It’s not just about full-container shipments to the other side of the world; it’s also about arranging a small groupage test shipment to Spain.” Robert van der Pol

Problem-solving attitude

Clients are often working against tight deadlines, as transport packaging materials are typically one of the final, and frequently overlooked, steps in the supply chain. That is why the company needs a responsive logistics partner with a global network, a strong sense of responsibility and service, and an equally practical and sustainable approach.

Trasegro responds quickly to requests, remains flexible and consistently finds solutions for a wide variety of logistics challenges. Customers expect a fast, flexible and seamless experience when ordering packaging materials, and the Trasegro team truly understands this. “ The partnership has evolved significantly over time.

“Our partnership started six years ago and has evolved from straightforward transport services into a full-service logistics partnership that fully supports our need for high-service transport solutions,” says Robert van der Pol

He adds: “Of course, competitive pricing matters, but excellent communication and reliability are just as important to us.”
