Distribution is transport, but transport is not distribution

You, as the logistics expert, have already known for a good long while that there are different types of shipments in the supply chain. The following classification is important to the transport of (packaged) chemical goods:

You can quickly see the area of expertise of a transport company from the fleet and the number of sites such as:

- A carrier with trailers and 1 site in the Benelux can, of course, never efficiently transport small shipments. This carrier can only achieve this by using other transport companies;
- A carrier with box body trucks and only 1 site in the Benelux can never cover Benelux distribution. Often such a transport company is a part of a network in which many other transport companies work in partnership.

Van den Anker specialises in the distribution shipment of ADR products. This unique distribution network in the Benelux, therefore, offers the most advantages. Due to ever stricter requirements that supply chain management must meet, shipments are becoming smaller and smaller and the requirements of just-in-time are becoming greater and greater. Slowly but surely, therefore, our network is expanding in the direction of package shipment of ADR products.

As the number of shipments increases and the speed of delivery, delivery reliability, track & trace and sustainability become more important, selecting the correct logistics partner becomes more critical.
