Growing Together

It’s high time to make use of the financial benefits of recycling and reduce plastic pollution. In 2022, UBQ Materials established itself in Bergen op Zoom with a clear mission: to reuse waste as a valuable raw material. The company produces high-quality composites from a mix of organic waste material and hard-to-recycle plastics. Recycling provides both financial benefits and reputational advantages for companies and governments. It is an interesting growth market that aligns well with the need for sustainability and responds to the demand for stability, driven by the volatility of fossil raw material markets.

Flexibility, the X-factor

Setting up a production process and opening a new market is an intensive and long-term effort. Flexibility is a critical success factor in this. Not only the internal team, but also external partners need to move along to achieve success. A good logistics partner is essential for a successful market introduction and stable growth.

Potential customers of UBQ Materials need products to carry out tests at specific times. In the startup phase, volumes are not always large, and speed in logistics is an important success factor.”

Everyone wants to jump on the fast train right away

Marco Plukaard, responsible for logistics processes, speaks with many logistics providers who are eager to cooperate once the routes are established and volumes increase.

“We are growing quickly and the market is ready for our product, but it takes some time.”

Trasegro presented itself a bit differently: first getting acquainted, then starting up with personal attention, offering the best options from its network, and continuously keeping a close eye on developments. According to UBQ Materials, this is an excellent basis for a healthy collaboration as the business grows.

“The Trasegro team thinks along with us, is proactive, and provides good service.”

Helping customers grow and focusing on long-term relationships is exactly the vision of founder Sjoerd Groffen:

“Flexibility leads to shared growth, and loyalty ensures success.”

Fast and reliable

The collaboration with UBQ Materials started in 2025 with spot demand: ultra-fast road transport of big bags and sample packaging, including the required documentation for European shipments. An additional complexity is that deliveries often need to arrive at a pre-agreed time. According to UBQ Materials’ logistics manager, this is a challenge that is consistently met.

Trasegro is described in two simple words: fast and reliable. Not only the founder and owner, but the entire Trasegro team works that way. With dedicated contact persons who are easy to reach, questions are handled quickly and properly.

“Trasegro supports the growth of UBQ Materials and the collaboration is strong. It is a service-oriented partner that understands our business and moves along with us. Right now, we are walking, soon we will be running together.”
— Steffan Brouwer, Managing Director UBQ Materials
