Van der Mark is a provider of logistic services that carries on where others leave off. We do this by combining modern technology with the best of the past. "A deal is a deal; that was true a hundred years ago when my great-grandfather started the business and I believe this is still true today," says Simon Van der Mark. "Of course we do innovate and implement changes because the transport industry is in constant motion. This requires an ongoing improvement process, maximum flexibility and adaptability so that the services provided are always perfectly in line with the logistic needs and processes of our customers. Everything we do is about transparent communication and mutual respect. We are fully prepared to meet every logistic need of our customers."
From one single dogcart to thousands of HP
In a century's time, VDM has grown into a reputable, (inter)national carrier and warehouse specialist that has become an increasingly important link in the European logistic chain.
Since 2000, Simon Van der Mark - the fourth generation - is at the helm of a well-respected company that is active all around the globe.
For years, the local chip shop owner would deliver kilos of fries and dozens of greasy snacks every Friday. About a year ago, we hired a new interior cleaner who loves cooking. So, for the past year, Cisca Eier has been treating us all to her homemade goodies, and every Friday she serves something surprisingly different to all the foodies at VDM. This Friday, beef stew with fresh fries was on the menu and this time Simon van der Mark himself had been in the kitchen.
At VDM, we want to be proactive, so a year ago we've made arrangements with Gezonde Praktijken (Healthy Practices). Every Friday afternoon, Lennert Taal - or one of his colleagues - comes to VDM to provide people with the desired physio treatment and advice. This helps our staff to stay fit.
This three minute movie gives you a good impression of what we do on a daily basis at Van der Mark. You will recognise that we are no actors, but we are used to serve our customers to the max as possible and that is what we want to show to you. Logistics is running through our vanes!
