History
The adventure began in 1945 when founder Mr. Cees de Rijke bought his first truck from the American army. At that time, the company’s activities were mainly focused on transporting milk and cattle in the region around Spijkenisse and Rotterdam (Netherlands). The subsequent expansion of De Rijke would be continuous and would take it beyond national soil. The company grew via logistics activities for the chemical industry (which flourished in the Rotterdam port area) with the transport of liquid chemicals in tanker trucks.
Starting in the 1960s, De Rijke expanded beyond the Netherlands, opening three European sites, notably that of France in 1982. During this period of expansion, the company successfully founded and acquired numerous sites in Western Europe, before going on to establish footholds throughout all of Europe.
Operating from its headquarters in Spijkenisse in the Netherlands, De Rijke is still an independent, family-owned business, but one with a global standing. It is now a fully-fledged provider of logistics services, with a vast network of traffic flows and logistics warehouses across all of Europe.
